Book Club: Love Letters to Black Women

# Monthly Book Club Picks

It’s time to choose our reads! During this short session, we’ll review all submitted book options, chat through what’s calling to us, and vote for our top picks.

Drop in and meet your cohort for the month: match faces to names, share contact info if you’d like, and get ready to lock in our selections for the month.

The highest-voted book becomes our main read; the runner-up becomes our companion pairing, our signature “Russian roulette” twist that creates surprising parallels across genres, cultures, and styles.

## Q&As

Do I need to attend to vote?
No — you can submit and vote anytime through the links above.
Do I have to read both books?
Not at all. Reading the main pick is enough; the pairing is simply there for those who want a deeper or broader dive.
What if I’m new?
This is a perfect event to join. It’s quick, low-pressure, and a great way to get involved.
What happens after the vote?
We’ll announce the picks for the month and share the discussion dates inside the group.
What’s our meeting structure?

• We meet mid-month every month for our main book discussion, and we gather briefly at the beginning of each month to select our next reads so everyone has time to obtain their books.
• Our monthly meetings are held virtually for accessibility and convenience.
• Our quarterly salons are in person, because celebrating each other and fostering real community matters just as much as the literature itself.

# Book Club Meet Up

Join us for our monthly Love Letters to Black Women Book Club Meetup, our main gathering where we come together to explore the stories, characters, themes, and cultural threads found in our selected book(s) of the month.

This meetup is salon-style: warm, thoughtful, curious, and rooted in community. Whether you’ve read every page or are still working your way through, you’re welcome here.

## What to Expect

✨ A grounded, engaging conversation
We’ll dive into the primary read (and the companion pairing for those who explored both), unpacking the ideas, questions, and emotions the works stirred up.
✨ Space to share, question, and discover
We’re not here to “analyze” for correctness. We’re here to think, feel, and explore together.
✨ A community-centered experience
Our book club is co-curated, so discussion is always enriched by the diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and reading experiences in the room.
✨ A wrap-up + look-ahead
We’ll close with reflections and light reminders about the next month’s submission and voting cycle.

## Do I need to finish the book to attend?

Not at all. Come as you are. Whether you finished, skimmed, or are here to listen and learn, your presence is welcome.
