Subscriber Box Review: Literati Noun Club - Roxane Gay's Audacious Book Club
I possess been eying the Literati Book Club for a while, and when I was offered the opportunity to try it out, I jumped at the chance. I didn’t comprehend much about it before I joined, but it’s really cool. Let me tell you about it:
- There are a ton of book clubs to select from — 13 in fact. And they’re all curated by people with unique perspectives, called Luminaries. You can chose your favorite (maybe an author you love or an activist you respect) and you’re in! If you’d like to try another book club next month, you’re welcome to switch it up. They even give you a preview of the upcoming books to help you choose.
- Once you pick a publication club, they mail you that month’s book.
- Then, you can join the conversation on their app. The luminary of your chosen book club will upload thoughts and other readers will share theirs.
The app is really easy to use. You can select your book club there, track your reading, and filter the conversation to be "spoiler free" if you haven’t finished the book yet.
