Serially Obsessed Book Club: 2026 Reading Schedule & How to Join

Blog Post: Serially Obsessed Book Club: A Year of True Crime, Thoughtful Discussion & Community

If you’re fascinated by investigative storytelling and the deeper questions behind true crime, the Serially Obsessed Book Club is for you. Beginning January 10, 2026, we’ll meet monthly to explore some of the most influential true crime books ever written—while diving into themes like psychology, ethics, trauma, criminal behavior, and the impact these stories have on real people.

This book club isn’t about shock value. It’s about meaningful conversation, critical thinking, and understanding how these narratives shape our view of justice, empathy, and truth.

All meetings are held at our Lincolnton location, and you’re welcome to join for a single month or the entire year.
