The Silver Petticoat Book Club is here!
We’ve been wanting to start a book club for a while, and now it’s finally happening! Welcome to THE SILVER PETTICOAT BOOK CLUB. We even got a custom logo for the group! In the future, we might send out stickers to members or let you download it. For now, enjoy the artwork on our social media channels.
WHAT KIND OF BOOKS WILL WE READ?
So, what’s our book club all about? At The Silver Petticoat Review, we’ve always loved books with memorable love stories, from classics like “Jane Eyre” to contemporary novels like “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.” Whether popular or obscure, we enjoy finding and recommending good books with an emotional or fun romance.
We started this book club to discuss great books that include a love story. It doesn’t mean the books will always be classified as “romance,” but each book will have a significant subplot with a memorable love story. We’re open to all genres, as long as there’s some romance involved! Expect stories that move us, excite us, and remind us why we love reading. We’re particularly interested in female authors and female-focused books, but that’s not a strict rule.
WHAT NOT TO EXPECT IN OUR PICKS
While some of our picks might be “clean romance,” others might not. However, we won’t include erotica. We’re more interested in less explicit stories, whether they’re paranormal, historical, contemporary, or literary fiction. This club is meant to be fun and not too serious. We carefully choose books we believe in and feel are worth discussing.
HOW WILL IT WORK?
We’ll alternate between newer books and classics each month. So, half of our picks will be newer books, and the other half will be classics. We love mixing the old with the new!
– Newer Books: Published from 2000 till now, with a preference for newly published ones.
– Classic/Vintage Books: Published before the year 2000.
We’ll announce the book of the month on the first day of each month. Throughout the month, we’ll share fun social media posts and then discuss the book during the final week. This gives everyone time to read the book. We’ll have discussion points, questions, and open discussions on social media. In the future, we hope to host live chats on Zoom or Facebook Live, and maybe even bring in guests.
HOW TO BUY THE BOOKS
We’ll provide links to buy the books on Amazon, IndieBound, and other sites. Some books might also be available at your local library or bookstore.
