Our monthly book selection ritual. Members suggest titles, three are shortlisted, and the final pick is voted on by the group. It's communal, intuitive, and always guided by the mood of the season rather than popularity.
Our twist on the typical book challenge. Once per season, we open a list of prompts; you pick just one— your shot. It's about savoring one story that calls to you, not crossing off boxes.
Gentle conversation starters about the themes behind our stories, not quizzes about the plot. You can join in whether you've read a page or not — they're about feeling, reflection, and connection to life beyond the book.
Cozy spaces for quote drops, playlists, book photos, and "currently reading" chats and the like that keep the Society feeling alive — without the pressure to keep up.
A short mid-month reflection from me (sometimes a voice note, sometimes a love letter) to keep the warmth alive as we read.
A tucked-away room for member-led side reads and niche genres (like thrillers, horror or anything beyond our main rotation.)
The Society is hosted on Discord. I know Discord groups can seem chaotic, but inside Slow Burn Society it's beautifully simple.
Every channel has a purpose, every thread feels calm, and nothing's buried under notifications. It's the coziest corner of the internet organized for peace, not attention.
You'll fit right in if you're craving:
Real conversation, not book critiques or book reports
Community that feels human, not performative
A reason to slow down and make space for stories again
