Books, Conversation & Community

Welcome to the very first gathering of the Bed-Stuy Book Club. This is a community-centered book club for readers in and around Bed-Stuy who want thoughtful conversation, new connections, and a shared love of books. For our first meetup, we’re keeping it simple: come meet fellow readers, talk about books you’ve loved recently and help choose future reads. You do NOT need to read anything beforehand for this first event. Whether you’re an avid reader or trying to get back into reading regularly, you’re welcome here.

Manhattan Smutty Book Club - Ice Planet Barbarians

It's finally happening. We are reading **[Ice](https://www.romance.io/books/551ce3c65b270e0a4cbd35b7/ice-planet-barbarians-ruby-dixon)**[ ](https://www.romance.io/books/551ce3c65b270e0a4cbd35b7/ice-planet-barbarians-ruby-dixon)**[Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon](https://www.romance.io/books/551ce3c65b270e0a4cbd35b7/ice-planet-barbarians-ruby-dixon)!** This book has been discussed and passed over for ten years because the dark start of the book does not match the tone of the book or the series. **If you are triggered by trafficking, rape, suicide and forced abortion, then please skip the first 19 to 21 pages.** The rest of the book is powerful women and sexy aliens. Rumor has it the print version available at Target is edited to better match the tone of the series. It would be cool if someone could pick that book up so we can compare. Here's what the author says: *You'd think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you'd be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they've left their cargo of human women - including me - on an ice planet. And the only native inhabitant I've met? He's big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me...* Please join us at Cornerstone Tavern, 961 2nd Ave, New York, NY (51st and 2nd) for great conversation, laughs, and friendship. Look for our signs, and listen for the laughter. We are often in the back of Cornerstone behind the curtain, which is actually a different restaurant called the Stags Head. We start at 7pm, but feel free to come early before happy hour ends at 7. People usually start to drift in by 6:30pm.

New Member Dinner [New York, NY] - 6/4

BROOKLYN Smutty Book Club - D'Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding

The book for June is **[D'Vaughn & Kris Plan A Wedding by Chencia C. Higgins.](https://a.co/d/04LmLYyL)** Maria recommended it. She says it's a sexy sapphic book about a couple that fake date for a reality tv show. Fun! Quick housekeeping note: Scammers have been using the name of Smutty Book Club and its organizers to invite people to for-profit events. **If you receive any solicitation for an event or receive communication outside of Meetup asking for money, then it is a scam.** Please let us know if you see anything suspicious. Now back to **[D'Vaughn & Kris Plan A Wedding](https://a.co/d/04LmLYyL)**: *. Instant I Do could be Kris Zavala’s big break. She’s right on the cusp of really making it as an influencer, so a stint on reality TV is the perfect chance to elevate her brand. And $100,000 wouldn’t hurt either.* *. D’Vaughn Miller is just trying to break out of her shell. She’s sort of neglected to come out to her mom for years, so a big splashy fake wedding is just the excuse she needs.* *. All they have to do is convince their friends and family they’re getting married in six weeks. If anyone guesses they’re not for real, they’re out. Selling their chemistry on camera is surprisingly easy, and it’s still there when no one else is watching, which is an unexpected bonus. Winning this competition is going to be a piece of wedding cake.* *. But each week of the competition brings new challenges, and soon the prize money’s not the only thing at stake.* The book for each month is chosen at the previous book club. So please come with your suggestions! Please note: Paddy's of Park Slope serves plenty of drinks, but does not serve food. They welcome people to bring in food, or order in. See you soon at Brooklyn Smutty Book Club!
