Meet the Readers Turning Santa Monica Sidewalks Into a Book Club

SANTA MONICA - Generation Z has gained a reputation as the online generation seeking offline connection. Young entrepreneurs Samantha Dockser and Morgan Messing are using social media to bring people outside through their walking book clubs. Preoccupied LA is the duo's hub for weekly book event roundups and their signature monthly book clubs on Instagram and Substack. Since launching in 2024, the platform has gained thousands of followers and expanded to include 12 book club chapters across the U.S. and Canada.
