Best Online Book Club Ireland
What is the Best Book Club in Ireland?
Looking for an online book club in Ireland where you can discover new books, chat with other readers and join in from wherever you are?
The Book Resort Book Club is a free online community for people who love reading. Based in Waterford but open to readers everywhere, our book club brings together people who want to talk about books, discover new authors and get recommendations for what to read next.
There's no subscription required and no pressure to finish every book. Join in as much or as little as you like.
How Does The Book Resort Online Book Club Work?
Our book club is hosted online, making it easy to take part wherever you live.
Members can discuss books, share recommendations, talk about what they're currently reading and discover titles they might otherwise have missed.
It's designed to be a relaxed reading community rather than another commitment in your diary.

Is the Book Club Free to Join?
Yes. The Book Resort Book Club is completely free to join.
You don't need to have a book subscription or buy anything from The Book Resort to become a member.
The community is there for anyone who enjoys reading and would like to connect with other readers.
Why Join an Online Book Club?
Traditional book clubs are great, but finding a meeting time that works for everyone isn't always easy.
An online book club gives you much more flexibility. You can join conversations when it suits you, discover recommendations from other readers and take part without travelling to a meeting.
It's also a good way to get out of a reading rut. Seeing what other people are enjoying can lead you towards books and authors you wouldn't necessarily have chosen yourself.
Discover New Books
One of the best things about joining a book club is finding your next read.
Our members read across a wide range of genres and regularly share recommendations and opinions. We also talk about books we're enjoying at The Book Resort and introduce members to new releases and authors worth discovering.
If you'd like a new book chosen for you each month, you can also explore our Book Subscription Boxes in Ireland.
Our subscriptions are separate from the Book Club — you don't need to subscribe to join the community.
Book Giveaways
Books are better when they're shared.
We regularly run book giveaways within our community, giving members opportunities to discover something new for their bookshelf.
It's one of the ways we keep the Book Club lively and give members another reason to check in and see what's happening.
Our Book Club Secret Santa
One of our favourite Book Club traditions is our annual Secret Santa.
Members who want to take part are matched with another reader and send each other a book at Christmas.
It's completely optional, but it has become a lovely part of the community and a chance for members to share their love of books beyond the online conversations.
An Irish Book Club with a Community Behind It
The Book Resort is a family-run Irish business based in Waterford, and reading has always been a major part of what we do.
Alongside our online book club, we choose books every month for our subscription members and spend a lot of time talking about new releases, favourite authors and the books our customers are enjoying.
The Book Club gives everyone — customers or not — somewhere to join that conversation.
What Are the Best Online Book Clubs to Join?
The best online book club for you depends on what you want from it.
Some book clubs follow a strict monthly reading schedule. Others focus on particular genres or authors. A more relaxed community may suit you better if you mainly want recommendations, discussions and somewhere to talk to other readers without another deadline.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to have you in The Book Resort Book Club.
Can I Join If I Don't Live in Ireland?
Yes. Although The Book Resort is based in Waterford and many of our members are in Ireland, the Book Club is online.
That means you can join the community from wherever you are.
