Bluntly, I can spend my days sorting “book club” spam, or I can write books. One pays me money. The otherff does not. So until further notice, I’m not entertaining book club invitations from anyone, and I likely won’t respond to your invitation at all. I’m sorry but this is the reality of the moment.
I’m guessing it’s a modification of a scam that’s been around podcasts and even (sometimes fake) conferences. Invite someone, then “oh hey you need to pay X for Y” or maybe asking for some donation to support. Now they’re just automated attempts to grab cash
