Last week we read Just Between Us written and illustrated by Adeline Kon ⛸️ The graphics are gorgeous, the enemies to friends was well written and satisfying 💌 We had lots of fun discussing this one! We did struggle staying on topic, talking about (mostly) related topics. As well as discussing the themes of sexuality, and pressure on athletes, we also touch on other sport anime, the popularity of sport romances and what sports would make good romance stories. Let us know what other sports do you think would make good romance books?

July was our classics month! We joined Holly Golightly in 1943 New York for Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote and watched the corresponding movie 🦋. We joined Sethe as she faced the rememory of being a former slave residing in 124 for Beloved by Toni Morrison 📚. Likewise we watched the movie adaptation. 🎬

To finish off the month we held our Christmas in July event, Bookmas, in collaboration with Books and Banter Book Club 🎄. We had lots of fun with classics in July and hope to see you in August for romance 💌

At our last meeting we read Toni Morrison’s Beloved, our second classic for this month 🍃.
