Great Books Are Better Together
There's something special about the moment a story stops being yours alone and becomes something shared. A book club is where that happens — where a chapter you dog-eared at midnight becomes the sentence someone else couldn't stop thinking about either.
At Hidden Shelf, we believe in that kind of connection. It's why we publish the stories we do, and it's why we love book clubs as much as we do. We want to make it as easy as possible for your group to read, discuss, and fall in love with our titles together.
What's Included When You Order Through the Book Club Shelf
When your book club orders directly through Hidden Shelf, you get more than just books. Every book club order includes access to:
Exclusive Discussion Guides Thoughtful, author-informed questions designed to spark meaningful conversation and get beneath the surface of the story.
Bonus Materials Behind-the-scenes content, author notes, and extras that bring the book — and the people behind it — to life.
Virtual Author Appearances The opportunity to invite the author directly into your meeting. There's nothing quite like asking the person who wrote the book what they actually meant by that ending.
