Meeting 3 (3rd Floor)

A read-what-you-want romance book discussion group featuring a different monthly theme.

Looking for a low-commitment way to share your love of romance reads? Join us for the Romance Book Club, a read-what-you-want romance discussion group where each month features a different theme— but the book(s) you choose is entirely up to you. No assigned titles, no stress, and absolutely no judgment.

Each month, bring any romance book that fits the theme and share what you loved, what surprised you, and what you think everyone else should read next. Whether you’re into swoony contemporaries, historical slow burns, spicy fantasies, second-chance heartbreakers, or laugh-out-loud romcoms, this club is the perfect place to gush about favorite tropes, discover new authors, and connect with fellow romance lovers. All heat levels, all subgenres, and all happily-ever-afters are welcome.

We believe love is love, and discussions will reflect romance across identities, cultures, and genders; all are welcome to respectfully attend.

Upcoming discussions:

June 2026: Queer Romance (Need suggestions?)

July 2026: Summer Romance

August 2026: No meeting!

September 2026: Romantasy/Fantasy Romance

October 2026: Fake Dating

November 2026: Enemies/Rival to Lovers

December 2026: Holiday Romance

January 2027: Best Romances of 2026
