The Hampton-Pinckney neighborhood has a book club! The book club web page is managed by Good Reads. Below are the instructions for joining:
Step One: Join Goodreads.com
Goodreads is a free website for book lovers. Imagine it as a large library that you can wander through and see everyone’s bookshelves, their reviews, and their ratings. You can also post your own reviews and catalog what you have read, are currently reading, and plan to read in the future. Don’t stop there – join a discussion group, start a book club, contact an author, and even post your own writing. Signing up is simple — Go to goodreads.com. Then you just enter your name, email, and a password.
Step Two: Join Hampton-Pinckney Book Club Page
If you haven’t received an email invite, then you can request to join the group by going to the group’s home page. You’ll be in the group as soon as the moderator approves your request. (Usually this is within a few hours.)

- Book Club Discussion Board
- Upcoming Events Calendar
- Reading List

Step Three: Personalize Your Profile
What do your bookshelves say about you? After you upload your photo and post your basic info, start adding books to your virtual shelves. Some people simply list their top 10 favorites; others catalog everything they have ever read. You can also post your favorite quotes, share your own writing for others to review, or publicize your upcoming events.
