Founded to bring passionate readers together, we meet regularly to explore powerful stories, share our perspectives, and build lasting friendships.
Whether it’s diving into the depths of fiction, exploring memoirs, or engaging with powerful voices through contemporary literature, we celebrate diverse authors and thought-provoking themes. Our events feature book discussions, author talks (like our upcoming session with Denise Nichols), and vibrant conversations that linger long after the last page is turned.
