I belong to 2 alumni associations (undergrad and b-school). Both use Professional Book Club (pbc.guru) to run virtual book clubs. See if your alumni association offers it, too.

Most of the books have been good (only a few clunkers) and I can honestly say they’ve exposed me to topics and authors I probably would have otherwise skipped.

Honestly the goop one looks interesting
