Not Your Mother's Book Club

Books Inc., the West’s oldest independent bookstore, started Not Your Mother’s Book Club™ with one big idea: to bring the best writers in the world to the best readers in the world.  We know first-hand that no book lovers are as ferociously awesome as Young Adult book lovers!

The club has grown tremendously since we began in 2005.  We now host a monthly literary salon for teenagers in San Francisco, as well as weekly online author interviews, online contests and in-school author events around the Bay Area.  No matter how much bigger and busier we are, though, one thing remains the same - our dedication to showcasing the very best that the world of teen literature has to offer.  

Not Your Mother's Book Club™ is the only place you can hang out with your favorite writers and connect with other people who love to read. We've hosted readings, special dinner parties, and writing workshops with some of the best YA authors in the world.

NYMBC™ events are especially for those in 7th-12th grade. Authors, librarians, booksellers, teachers, and those who just love teen books are also WELCOME, but contests and other special treats are for those in grades 7-12 only.
