Welcome to the
East Boston Book Club
where we build community, one chapter at a time!
ABOUT US
We’re a group of local women from East Boston and surrounding neighborhoods who share a passion for reading and community. Eastie Book Babes was created to bring fellow gals together through monthly book club meetings and special events that spark connection and conversation.
Our formal meetings take place monthly, where members read the same book and gather to share thoughts, insights, and laughter.
Join us to explore a diverse range of books, discover new authors, and—most importantly—make meaningful friendships along the way!

Members have been asking:
How can I help?
As this question has come up more frequent, we’ve reflected on the most meaningful ways support can make an impact.
