Book club podcast host

Our book club, recorded at home

I’m Lubna. Every month my friends and I read one novel and talk about it around my table in Amman. Listen free, then get the reading guides and read along with us.

About

About me

Our book club began with four friends and a pot of tea in my living room in Amman. Six years later there are eleven of us, and one microphone in the middle of the table.

We read one novel a month and record two episodes on it: one at the halfway point and one at the end. I write a reading guide for every book, so you can read along and join the talk.
