Welcome to the SLoB Book Club: a space that brings classic books to life, with exclusive bonus episodes, in-depth reading notes, useful explanations, and helpful yet hilarious comments, chapter by chapter.

​

We love talking about classic books as much as we love reading them. Join the Book Club to take part in the conversation.

Our next read: 
Middlemarch by George Eliot 

SLOB’s Middlemarch Book Club starts early January, for subscribers to The Secret Life of Books. Read along with Sophie and Jonty, fully supported by bonus episodes every two weeks, with reading notes, useful explanations, and helpful yet hilarious comments, chapter by chapter. 

 

Our book club is held every two weeks on Fridays at 7pm AEST. You can send in questions ahead of time, join with a group, and recordings will be posted for any members of the Secret Life of Books Club who couldn’t make the live session.

​

Head to Patreon to find out more and how to subscribe. You can also gift a membership if you know someone you think would enjoy it.

 

Starts 9 January, 2026.

We’ve started a Patreon so our listeners can help keep Secret Life of Books delivering enjoyable episodes each week. We love doing the show and want to keep up the level of high quality research, writing and production.

Most of all we want to keep the laughs coming.

To express our gratitude and to bring you into the growing Secret Life of Books community, we’re offering a monthly Book Club for supporters. This happens on the third Tuesday of the month at 7pm AEST. You can send in questions ahead of time, join with a group, and we will record the sessions and make them available for members of the Secret Life of Books Club.
