What a brilliant idea Emma. I’m in! I’ve not read any of these nor been a member of a Book Club so this is double exciting. Looking forward to this very much.

See you in ‘25! X

Ah amazing, Ruth! I’m so excited to have you on board. I’ve not read all of them either but I have read The Lottery many times & it’s an absolutely chilling classic - and first up. All the best for 2025 and look forward to seeing you!

This is a fantastic idea, Emma. You're very inventive! I read Yellow Wallpaper and The Lottery but not the others. I'll check them out. Wishing you the BEST 2025!

Love this idea! I’ve read most of these as part of my Lit degree but time to dust off the old anthology collections! What fun! 🫶🏻

Hi Emma. Thank you for this book club!

I saw the Simon Haisell’s “bumper list of 2025 book groups” and was feeling a bit sad that there were no groups for short stories. I even spent some time yesterday searching for an online club that had weekly discussions for each new New Yorker fiction, but couldn’t find any active club.

Dinesh, thank you so much for sharing this with me. It will make all the hard work worthwhile to know I am filling a needed (and searched-for) gap in all the book clubs. I can't promise it will be as professional as some of the others out there, but I can guarantee it will be some fun! Thrilled to have you on board.
