The month of January is very familiar with the trembling thoughts of New Year’s resolutions. Don’t worry; sometimes, simply slowing down and reading more often will suffice. Prepare your bookshelf (or your e-reader), here is a list of book clubs in Corpus Christi to help sustain a reading habit in 2025. 

Therapy Book Club

Therapy Book Club specializes in bibliotherapy, a creative coping therapy that builds a relationship between books and individuals. Readers engage in conversation based on books in the self-help, memoir and fiction genres with resilience and positive psychology themes. To join, visit its website and leave your contact information with a note about your interest. Meetings are held on Saturdays 10 a.m.-12 p.m. at My Healing Center.  

The Favorite Book Exchange

The Favorite Book Exchange allows readers to exchange their favorite books. Members give a brief synopsis of the book, all books are placed on a table and everyone grabs the one they are interested in. Show up and bring a favorite book to join; meetings are held once a month at The Annex, and dates can be found on social media. 

Silent Book Club

Silent Book Club is a bring-your-own-book-style community that encourages an hour of silent reading, followed by time to socialize. From e-books to textbooks to audiobooks, all types of books are welcome. Connect by visiting a meeting at Coffee Waves on Alameda every second Saturday of the month, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
