Book Club Events
March 2025 – BYOB: Hate the Trope, Love the Book
Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at 8 pm EST A virtual book club for swoon-worthy romance novel lovers. All bookworms have that one trope that they cannot stand, whether it be secret baby, friends to lovers, or marriage of convenience. There is just something about some tropes that just rubs us the wrong way. But there is always a book that is the exception to that rule. A book that you adore even though its main trope is one that you absolutely hate. This month’s BYOB is all about showing off those books you love, even though you hate the trope featured in it.
April 2025 – Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson
Wednesday, April 16, 2024, at 8:00 pm EST A virtual book club for swoon-worthy romance novel lovers. This month, we will be diving into the wonderful world of monster love. Sometimes, the best books to read are the ones that push us out of our usual comfort zone. Monster love is a subgenre that is growing in popularity. So this month, we are dipping our toes into that subgenre and reading Under Lock and Key by Lana Ferguson.
May 2025 – BYOB: Weird and Wild
Wednesday May 21, 2025 at 8pm EST A virtual book club for swoon-worthy romance novel lovers. In May, it’s BYOB (Bring Your Our Book), Weird & Wild Edition. Friends, we could all use a laugh and a little inspiration. So this month, we’re challenging you to bring us those books that made you go, “I’m sorry, what now?” or had a premise so spectacular, you just had to read it. Bonus points if it made you blush. No matter how wacky, we promise not to judge. Bring an open mind and meet us on zoom!
