The AntiLoneliness Book Club is Here! We love books and we made it part of our mission: to bring together people who love books and to help them connect with each other. Each month, one topic, two books, one poll. The topic can be about relationships, grief, loneliness, expat life, etc. Participation in the poll is necessary as we need to choose only one book for each month. This year has a (book) plan!
