Readers Without Borders
Readers Without Borders is for the curious, the adventurous, and the happily undisciplined reader. Each month, we explore a different genre, encouraging members to pick a book that stretches their usual tastes and brings something new to the table. Bring your TBR, your current read, or the book you meant to finish: we're here to talk about what you discovered, what surprised you, and what you might try next. This is a low-pressure, high-curiosity club where no one has to read the same title, just share the experience of reading beyond the familiar. If you love variety, thoughtful conversation, and swapping recommendations with fellow literary explorers, Readers Without Borders is your passport.
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Textual Healing Book Club
Welcome to Textual Healing, the book club where we read romance without apology, from sweet to spicy, and everything (or everyone) deliciously in between. Romance is the highest-grossing genre in publishing for a reason: readers love big feelings, bold desire, and the absolute certainty of a happily-ever-after. We're here to burrow into all of it and live there. Each month, we read romance that ranges from tender slow burns to feral, page-gripping chaos (consensual, of course), and then gather to talk tropes, chemistry, characters, and the sheer joy of a genre that knows exactly what it's doing (and for whom). This is a space for laughing, blushing, debating, and celebrating stories that center pleasure, emotional payoff, and endings that deliver. If you love romance unapologetically or if you're romance-curious and ready to be converted, Textual Healing is your people. Come for the smut. Stay for the feelings.

This Book Club Is Banned
Stories that have been challenged or banned have sparked conversation and controversy across the country. At This Book Club Is Banned, we select our reading list from titles named on the American Library Association and PEN America lists of banned or challenged books, and explore them together in community. In recent years, attempts to censor or restrict access to books have surged. The American Library Association has documented thousands of book challenges each year, far more than in previous decades, targeting a wide range of voices and experiences. This club isn't just about reading; it's about understanding why certain stories provoke debate, recognizing the value of diverse perspectives, and celebrating the freedom to read openly and with curiosity. Whether you're passionate about literature, interested in social issues, or simply looking for lively discussion, join us as we read books that challenge and stories that matter.

Equal parts terrifying and thought-provoking, it's the perfect October read.
