SUMMARY:Between the Covers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Romance is a genre that celebrates diversity and the believes everyone deserves to be loved. With guaranteed happy endings, romance novels have captivated the hearts of many readers over the years and has given people a safe space to explore desire, needs, and wants in romantic relationships. Between the Covers is a book club that hopes to create a sense of community and make everyone feel welcomed and accepted. It is a place where we can talk and laugh about all kinds of different romance novels with the certainty that our favorite characters will get their happy ending.\n“I’m not telling you that every time you read a romance novel that you are taking part in a radical act… But I am telling you that when you do select a romance novel from your TBR, you are just one thread in a more larger tapestry that is slowly chipping away at patriarchal social structures, one sentence at a time. And I think that’s…amazing.” -Female Fantasy by Iman Hariri-Kia\n
