Welcome to the Folklore and Romance Book Club!

In this book club, we dive into the enchanting worlds of romance and fantasy, with a special focus on stories that celebrate women at the center of it all. Whether it’s swooning over slow-burn love stories or getting lost in magical realms, our monthly reads are a blend of heart and adventure.

Watch out for this: *live the adventure message and link next to the book of the month to know when trips are being offered that are linked to the book.

Without further ado, grab a cozy seat, get ready to turn the page, and let’s make some magic together, both on and off the page. The 2025 book club picks are:
