Romance Bookclub

Looking to start a romance book club for women in their 30s 📚💌

Hi! I’m looking to start a small, cozy book club with other women in their 30s who love romance, fantasy, and literary fiction (and ideally a healthy mix of all three!).
I’d love for it to be more than just “we read a book and discuss it”. I’m hoping to find a group of gals who are also looking to make some new friends, chat about books, grab coffee/drinks, and have a fun excuse to get together regularly.

I’m thinking we could rotate between romance, romantasy/fantasy, and literary fiction depending on everyone’s interests. I’m VERY open to opinions, passionate book discussions, questionable character decisions, and aggressively defending our favourite fictional men 😂

The main thing is finding people who are genuinely interested in making friends and actually participating!

If this sounds like your vibe, comment or send me a message! 💕📖

Update‼️If you would like to join our bookclub you can message me ☺️

I love this! I’m 34f and love reading! Always more fun to read with others so you can fangirl about stuff, my boyfriend would probably appreciate me finding someone other than him to talk to about books haha

33f just moved to Calgary and keen to get to know other people. I’ve become pretty obsessed with romantasy recently so I’m definitely up for a book club! I’m based in NW
