Florentino met with me several times to help me execute my first ever art event I was participating in. He taught me how to plan events and prepped me for what I should say to the attendees. The event turned out great!

I wanted to start an Insta for my art and was anxious about how social media would work. Tino sat down with me, calmed my fears, discussed the basics, and even worked out a weekly social media schedule. Thank you so much.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Booknest book club work?
Each month, we select a new book for our members to read. We start with a live discussion, share weekly posts for open conversations, and host interactive live sessions to explore comments. At the end of the month, we wrap up with a special live session to reflect on the book before moving on to the next one.
Do I need to be an active participant to join?
Not at all! You can engage as much or as little as you like. Whether you prefer reading along quietly, sharing your thoughts in the comments, or joining our live discussions, Booknest welcomes all kinds of readers.
How are the books selected?
Our selections balance literary classics, modern gems, and diverse genres to keep things fresh and engaging. Members can also suggest books, and we occasionally hold polls to let the community decide upcoming reads.
Is there a membership fee?
Booknest offers free and premium membership tiers. While free members can access book selections and discussions, premium members enjoy exclusive perks like extra content, private Q&A sessions, and early event access.
