That would be me, Katie! I grew up in New England and spent the past few years living and working in New York City. Currently, I'm reading A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle, and next up are Ina Garten's memoir Be Ready When Luck Happens and Elin Hilderbrand's The Five-Star Weekend.

I started this book club in the Spring of 2025 because I loved the idea of meeting new people every month who actually enjoy the same kinds of book genres. Whether it's a causal chat over coffee, a post-tennis debrief, or a relaxed meetup at an art gallery, the salon is about building strong friendships over shared interests in a group setting.

Behind the scenes, I'm matching members, curating book recommendations, sourcing member perks and discounts, and organizing our very first retreat (Spring 2026 on Nantucket). This is a growing, independent club and a small business, so feedback is always welcome and appreciated. Feel free to reach out anytime via Instagram DMs (@societyliterarysalon), I'd love to hear from you!

We're so excited to welcome you to the salon! Our main offering is our monthly rotating book club service. What this means is when you join:
1. You'll be prompted to fill out the membership form that lets us know where you're based, what genres you love, and how you enjoy connecting with fellow readers.
2. On the 1st of each month, we'll introduce you to up to 3 fellow readers in your area, curated based on your preferences.
3. Together, you'll choose a book to read that month and decide how you'd like to meet up.
4. Next month? You're matched with a new group of readers and a fresh book to expand your literary circle.
