Book Nook Community
There is always something happening at the Book Nook. We put on a variety of regularly reoccurring events at the shop. Anyone is welcome to join us for a Book Club or a Story Time. For our sporadic Trivia Nights we ask you book a spot for you team [here]. Check out our Instagram to stay up to date and hope to see you soon! You can also subscribe to our Substack to get Book Club title announcements and other newsie bits.
Book Nook Book Club
The Book Nook Book Club has been running since September 2022 and is hosted monthly by any combination of Jasmine, Leanne and Alyssa. We are a very welcoming bunch. We read a wide variety of genres and come prepared with discussion points to encourage a lively and interesting conversation. There’s no pressure to come every month and you don’t have to let us know you’re coming – just make sure you’ve read (at least most!) of the book and come willing to share your opinion and listen to others. We meet at the shop at 7pm on the last Sunday and Monday of the month (you only have to come to one – we split the group so that there is a more manageable number of people!) The book we’re currently reading will be posted to our social media and will be displayed for purchase in the shop. And here is the working list of our title selections for 2026.
The Grim Readers Book Club
Join Jasmine for a monthly non-fiction book club with a focus on all things true crime, macabre history and the supernatural!
For more information on joining and info about our next title, drop Jasmine an email at jasmine@thebooknookstirling.co.uk
Queer Book Club
The Stirling Queer Book Club is hosted at the shop by the lovely Eilidh and Elijah! They have previously selected Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz, Outlawed by Anna North and The Hand, the Eye & the Heart by Zoe Marriott.
For any queries, please contact them directly on their Instagram.
Beyond the Bubble
Think comics are all super heroes? Well tights and capes need not apply at this graphic novel book club. Hosted by Alyssa, this book club explores the vast and wonderful world of cartooning. Beyond the Bubble meets every other month on the first Wednesday (January, March, May, July, September, and November). For title selections please visit @beyondthebubblebookclub on Instagram. Or sign up for Alyssa’s newsletter for title selections and other fun bits delivered to your email inbox.
Book Nook Kid's Club
Our newest addition to the Book Nook Community Events is our Kid’s Club.
We host a
Monthly Sunday Story Time for ages 3 to 6
Monthly Book Club for ages 8 to 12
Summer Break Creative Writing Workshop for ages 8-14
We will be rolling out our story time and middle grade book club starting in April. The Creative Writing Workshop will run July to August and it is going to get its own post with all the details.
If you have kiddo interested in a Kid’s Club Activity – we have a couple house keeping notes.
Please do not leave your kids at the shop unattended. You don’t have to sit with your kiddo while they are attending story time or book club but we request that the adult in charge stay in case something comes up.
Each of our programs lists an ideal age range but you know where your kids are at better than us. If you think your younger/older child will sit and enjoy story time they are more than welcome to join in! If you have an ambitious reader who will get something out of our middle grade book club they are more than welcome as are any older kids who are interested in what we are reading.
And if you have any additional queries you can reach us at thebooknookkidsclub@gmail.com
