Most book clubs feel like another thing to keep up with. This one isn’t.

Slow Burn Society is where we read without rushing, share without judgment, and rediscover what it means to be moved by a story.

What We Read

We lean toward emotionally-driven stories— books that make you feel, not perform. Expect slow-burn romances, cozy mysteries, romantasy, fantasy romance, contemporary stories with heart, women's fiction and the occasional dark romance that stings and pushes you before it soothes.

No book reports.

No assignments.

Just stories that linger and  make you feel alive.

Inside the Society

THE ENTMOOT

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.

THE SOCIETY SHOT

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.

THE WEEKLY PROMPTS

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.

THE PARLOUR THREADS

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.

THE FIRESIDE NOTE

A short mid-month reflection from me (sometimes a voice note, sometimes a love letter) to keep the warmth alive as we read.

THE SOCIETY ANNEX

A tucked-away room for member-led side reads and niche genres (like thrillers, horror or anything beyond our main rotation.)

Why Discord (And Why It's Not a Mess)

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.

Who It's For

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
