What we’re about
Welcome to the Hudson Valley Fantasy & Romantacy Book Club!
If you're looking for a place to read (or re-read!) and discuss fantasy and/or romantasy books, you've come to the right place! We read a mix of popular fantasy, romantasy, and classic literature with fantasy elements. From Tolkien and ancient Greek tragedies to A Court of Thorns and Roses and Legends & Lattes.
This is a 21+ (we read books with adult themes and sometimes meet in bars) LGBT+ friendly book club. We don't exclusively read queer books, and you don't need to be queer to join, but you MUST be an ally comfortable reading books where queer themes, characters, and relationships are present either in the background or in a central capacity.
We meet twice a month, once in-person (location TBD) and once online. We're also low commitment, aiming to read 100 pages a week. If you fall behind, no worries! Just expect there will be spoilers in discussion if you still join in. If you're not interested in a title or don't have time to read for a few weeks, feel free to skip and join in on the next one!

When joining our in-person meetups, we do ask that everyone please make a purchase at the venue, so we can support our local businesses and have them happy for us to return. :-)
