As an accompaniment to my channel, I run a book club on my Discord server where we read one book a month. The list of books we pick from is made up of the favourite books from the birth years of viewers of the channel.
If you’d like to join the club, click here to head on over to my Discord server and say hi! If you’re new to the group and want to add your favourite book from your birth year just let me know!
