The Book Club Was Better

🎬 Beyond the Covers invites you to join us at The Book Club Was Better, our book club for movie lovers.

We pair iconic books with their screen adaptations, gathering at Social Beer Garden in Houston to watch the film, sip cocktails, and settle the ultimate debate: Was the book actually better?

Each event is free to attend for 21+, and you’ll have the option to preorder a special edition of our Shelf Worthy Box, including the featured title, curated bookish gifts, and a drink ticket for the event, plus an invite to our virtual book club community, hosted on Discord. A portion of proceeds from every box is donated to a local nonprofit.
