This book club will be facilitated by BPL staff. Each month focuses on a different topic, and participants will receive a list of recommended books. As many participants may read different books, expect a broader discussion of themes, unexpected connections, and new discoveries.
Please note that this book club is recommended for adults ages 18+.
The Romance Book Club meets on the third Thursday of every month. The dates for 2026 are:
- November 19th - Romantasy
- December 17th - Historical Romance
Please check back in December to register for 2027 dates.
Looking for even more romance? Join us on Tuesday, November 10th at 7:00pm for a conversation with bestselling author Sonya Singh on writing heartfelt South Asian love stories. Reserve your spot now.
