South Florida's Most
Unique Book Club
A free monthly gathering of readers in Deerfield Beach who love fantasy and sci-fi, real conversation, and a drink that matches the mood. No pretension. No pressure. Just great books, genuine community, and a venue unlike anything else in South Florida.
July's Pick
Dungeon Crawler Carl
The apocalypse has come, Earth's surface has been destroyed, and what remains has been turned into a massive, televised dungeon crawl — watched by billions of alien viewers as entertainment. Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat Princess Donut descend floor by floor into a world of monsters, traps, loot, and absurd dark humor. A Peacock TV series adaptation has been greenlit. A tabletop RPG raised over $4.5 million on its first day of crowdfunding. This is the series exploding right now — and we're reading it first.
Monthly book club night at Skillshotz Gaming — projector on, drinks flowing, discussion underway.
Every Book We've Read
Since our very first meeting in July 2025, we've read 11 fantasy and sci-fi titles — from Octavia Butler to Douglas Adams, from gothic classics to brand new releases.
The community that keeps coming back — readers from across Broward and Palm Beach County.
Not Your Average Book Club
No academic lectures. No pressure to have the perfect take. Just a room full of people in Broward County who actually read the book — and keep coming back because the community is that good.
Drinks from The Twisted Vine, great conversation, and a community unlike any other in South Florida.
The Twisted Vine creates drinks inspired by each month's book. Fantasy worlds taste better with the right cocktail in hand.
Friendly hosts keep the conversation moving — no one gets left out, no one dominates. Every take is welcome.
You're not in a library or a coffee shop. You're in South Florida's most immersive gaming venue, surrounded by people who love great stories.
We've been meeting monthly since July 2025 and the same faces keep coming back — with new ones joining every month.
No cover. No membership required. Show up, grab a drink, and join the conversation. First timers are always welcome.
Every attendee takes home a Skillshotz bookmark — a small keepsake that marks your place in this month's read and the next one.
Big Book Energy — For the Serious Readers
Can't get enough? We also run a second book club for the truly dedicated — focused exclusively on epic reads of 500+ pages. Think Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, and other doorstop-sized fantasy tomes that deserve more than one night of discussion.
Big books get the time they deserve — split across multiple meetups so no one feels rushed.
We use the Fable app for chapter-by-chapter discussion between meetings — spoiler-free threads for every chapter.
Big Book Energy meets on Thursdays at 6:30 PM. Join the Discord for the current pick and Fable app invite link.
Join the Conversation on Discord
Book picks, discussion threads, reading recommendations, and community announcements — all in our Discord server. Jump in between meetings and keep the conversation going.
Join Our Discord ServerReaders Across Broward & Palm Beach County
We draw readers from Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, and beyond. No gaming experience required. No reading credentials needed. If you finished the book and have thoughts — you belong here.
The Ones We Get Most Often
We'd love it if you did — the conversation is richer when everyone's read it. But if you got halfway through and want to hear what happens, come anyway. Just be warned: spoilers are fair game.
The book club itself is completely free. The Twisted Vine bar is open and we'd love you to grab a drink — but there's no minimum spend and no cover charge.
Absolutely — fill out our questionnaire or join the Discord and pitch it there. Community suggestions are how we pick many of our titles.
Not at all. The book club is completely standalone. You're here to talk about books — everything else at Skillshotz is just a bonus if you want to explore it.
We meet monthly on Wednesdays — check our Events Calendar for the exact date, or join the Discord where we post announcements as soon as they're confirmed.
Join the Discord — that's where we announce the next pick after each meeting. You can also fill out the questionnaire to get added to our announcements list.
