Not Alone Notes is hosting a book club!
For many people, OCD latches onto and affects their ability to read, especially when for fun. The goal of this book club can be about facing down reading OCD, but more so it is about building a community among readers with OCD.
The plan is to meet somewhere around 2-4 times a year. It’s a low pressure book club. Even if you haven’t finished the book, you are welcome!
We will be reading various titles, sometimes specific to OCD, but not always. Books can range from novels to memoirs to poetry and more!
