Bored with her job of fixing teeth, Mela returned to her passion of reading and created The Book Club in 2018. Once intended to be a place to meet new friends who share the same hobby, The Book Club has evolved to be a safe place to discuss books and issues related to books the readers had just read. Running for its fifth year, Mela now runs The Book Club with 3 friends simultaneously in two cities, Makassar and Jakarta.
