Thanks for compiling this in one place. There are so many, but these are definitely the ones that come to mind first. I think John Halbrooks is great too. However, I’m definitely an active member of Close Reads — even attending their NC retreats.

Zina, I love that you’ve been able to attend the Close Reads retreats. My sister actually attended the one they had in the fall. She loved it so much.

This is great list and I am grateful we found each other. I appreciate you including me. What I love about this is there is likely something for everyone to find one or two places to join and connect. I am excited about your venture and your love for great literature. Keep up the great work!

Was Close Reads supposed to be numbered? If so then the number is more like 12 Great list!

Good catch, Zina. :) I went back and looked at it, and I saw that Close Reads wasn't numbered, you're right. But then, the numbering skipped from 9 to 11 at the end. Go figure. It is 11 total.... but there are so many great groups out there, it could be 12 and beyond! :D
