The Marginalia Club
The Marginalia Club is a glamorous global book club where readers come together to discover, discuss, and celebrate unforgettable stories from around the world.
We believe the right book, read in the right company, can change a season of your life. Marginalia is a weekly meeting place for curious readers across continents — a slow, generous, glamorous community built around the conversations that only a great book can start.
A monthly literary edit you can trust — across genres, languages, and continents.
Live virtual meetings every week — bring your tea, your tabs, and your questions.
Sit across the table from the writers behind the books — intimate, generous, on the record.
Readers from over forty countries, all turning the same page on the same week.
Kira founded The Marginalia Club after a decade of book-club hopping convinced her that the genre needed a redo. She wanted something more intimate than a Goodreads thread, more rigorous than a hashtag, and more glamorous than the average Sunday Zoom.
She personally curates every monthly pick, hosts the Friday spotlight nights, and writes the weekly reading notes that members say are worth the membership on their own.
