How Dogear book clubs work

A club that actually meets

Chapter channels between sessions, a live voice room on club night, and the author sitting in as a member.

Chapter channels

One channel per week's stretch. Spoiler-locked until you've read that far.

Live voice room

Club night is a room, not a thread. Listen in or raise your hand to talk.

The author's a member

Brenda is in the room for all four sessions, answering out loud.

Track as you go

Log your pages, keep your streak, and see who else in the club is where you are.

The schedule

Four Wednesdays. Thirty minutes each.

Read the week’s stretch at your own pace and drop into the chapter channel whenever. On Wednesday night the room opens, Brenda joins, and we talk.

Bruja’s Nest

Brenda LaTorre

The Love Witch meets Monstrilio. Raised amid poverty and abuse, Yolanda is sent to serve on a wealthy hacienda and sets out to become lady of the house, with a spell from the local bruja. Body horror, class war, and monstrous motherhood.

“A dark, propulsive debut about what it costs a woman to claim a life of her own.” — Cynthia Pelayo
