Book Clubs

At Black Cat Fables, we believe that reading is more enjoyable when shared with others. That’s why we’re excited to offer book clubs! Whether you're into fiction, non-fiction, mystery, or romance, our book clubs provide the perfect opportunity to explore new genres, discover hidden gems, and engage in stimulating discussions with fellow book lovers.

What to Expect:

  • Free Participation: Joining our book clubs is absolutely free! We want to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all readers.
  • Community Connection: Meet like-minded individuals, make new friends, and become part of a vibrant community of readers.
  • Convenient Schedules: We offer book club meetings at various times to accommodate different schedules, making it easy for you to join in the fun.

While participation in the book clubs is free, we do ask that you purchase your own copy of the selected book. This ensures that everyone supports our local bookstores and has their own copy to read and annotate.

Our Book Club Commitment

To ensure our book clubs remain a welcoming and safe space for all members, we ask that participants agree to the following:

  1. Respect and Inclusivity: Treat all members with kindness and respect. Discrimination, hate speech, or harmful behavior will not be tolerated.
  2. Confidentiality: What’s shared in the group stays in the group. Personal stories or opinions discussed during meetings should remain private unless explicitly stated otherwise by the speaker.
  3. Open-Mindedness: We’re here to explore ideas and perspectives through books and thoughtful discussion. Listen actively and engage with curiosity, even when opinions differ.
  4. No Judgment Zone: We celebrate varying levels of participation. Whether you’ve read every page or just a few chapters, your voice is welcome here.

By joining a book club at Black Cat Fables, you agree to help foster a safe, positive, and inclusive space for all book lovers.
