There’s something special about reading a great book, and something even better about talking it over with people who love books as much as you do. That’s exactly what happens at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach.
Their book clubs are casual, fun, and full of lively conversations that make you see each story in a whole new way. The best part? Anyone can join!
You don’t have to sign up in advance or be a “serious” bookworm. All you need is curiosity, a love of stories, and a free Sunday afternoon. Plus, members get discounts on books and coffee (yes, half-price coffee while you chat!).
Let’s take a look at the three book clubs you can dive into:

Browseabout Book Club
The Browseabout Book Club is the store’s main reading group, and it’s a great fit if you enjoy variety.
One month might be literary fiction, the next poetry, and after that, a thought-provoking non-fiction title.
The books are chosen for their impact, perspective, and writing quality, so there’s always something worth discussing.
Meetings happen in Browseabout’s event room at 3 p.m. on select Sundays from September through May.
The vibe is easygoing, new members are always welcome, and no sign-up is needed. Just show up, grab a seat, and join the conversation.
The discussions are led by Maribeth Fischer, who keeps things thoughtful and engaging.
There are perks, too: book club members get 10% off their picks, and during meetings, you can sip on half-price hot drinks from the café. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
If you’d like more info, you can always reach out at [email protected], but honestly, just showing up is the easiest way to start.

Words That Bleed Book Club
For horror fans, Browseabout has something special: the Words That Bleed Book Club.
This group is all about scary, spooky, and sometimes downright unsettling reads. It’s run by Kelly, the store’s resident horror expert and writer, who knows how to pick titles that will give you chills and plenty to talk about.
From September through May, meetings are held in the event room at 3 p.m. on select Sundays.
When summer rolls around, things shift online with Zoom meetings in June, July, and August, perfect if you’re away but still want to stay connected.
As with the other clubs, you’ll get 10% off the book club title (just mention it at checkout) and half-price hot drinks during in-person gatherings. And the best part? No registration. You just show up, ready to dive into the latest creepy story.
Curious about joining? Send questions to [email protected], or just drop in, and you can fit right in with fellow horror lovers.

Browser's Forensic Files Book Club
If you’re fascinated by true crime, the Browser’s Forensic Files Book Club is right up your alley and the book club for you.
Also led by Kelly, this group takes on books that explore crime, justice, and the mysteries behind real-life investigations.
Like the other clubs, it meets at 3 p.m. on select Sundays between September and May in the event room.
Discussions are open and casual, making it easy to join whether you’ve been into true crime for years or you’re just starting to explore the genre.
Members get the same great perks: 10% off book selections and half-price hot drinks while the club meets. Combine that with gripping conversation about crime and justice, and you’ve got a Sunday activity that’s both fascinating and fun.
Interested? You don’t need to sign up, just grab the book, show up, and join in. For details or questions, you can email [email protected].
