Current Groups

Just Show Up Book Clubs take place on studio lots in Los Angeles during lunchtime, making them easy to fit into your workday. You’ll receive a complimentary copy of the featured book for each session. Our format is simple and engaging: we listen to the audiobook together for 30-40 minutes, followed by a 20-30 minute group discussion. There’s no pressure to attend every meeting—just show up when you can.

Let us know if you are working on a studio lot, and we’ll give you information about the Just Show Up Book Club at your location. It’s a great way to dive into literature, connect with colleagues, and enjoy a refreshing break in your day. Interested in starting one? Let us know that too.
