Join us at Bamboo Ann Arbor for a rooftop popup featuring Bonding Over Books!
ABOUT BONDING OVER BOOKS
Bonding Over Books is on a mission to turn book talk into real talk. Our conversation card game is designed to bring book clubs closer to the stories they’re reading and the people they’re reading them with.
At Bonding Over Books, we believe a book club can be so much more than *just* a wine club. We see book clubs as a powerful antidote to today’s loneliness epidemic. They offer an opportunity to build meaningful connections, spark thoughtful conversations, and support healthy habits, like reading and in-person interactions.
But when the book no longer stays the focus, it can be quite frustrating. That's where we come in. Our conversation cards are designed to help book clubbers deepen their connections while still keeping the book at the center of the conversation. We exist to ensure that every meeting is a chance to go beyond surface-level chatter, dive into the story, and leave feeling more connected each time.
THE CARD GAME
Meet your book club's missing member. With over 100 questions and prompts, our conversation cards are designed to add depth to your bookish conversations and foster deeper connections. To play, simply pick a card, share your answer, open it up to the group, and be ready to connect in a whole new way.
Perfect for group settings, these cards can also be used for personal reflection. While they can be played with any book, we find this deck works best with fiction.
Available online at bondingoverbooks.co and select retailers nationwide ($24.99).

I've had the opportunity to work out of both the Detroit and Royal Oak location and Bamboo, as a whole, is by far the greatest work environment you will find in the area.
