About this Event

Calling all sapphic romance lovers! Whether you’re a longtime fan of sapphic stories or just discovering the magic of women-loving-women romance, Pride & Petals is thrilled to host a free, in-person book club celebrating sapphic love in all its forms.

Our mission is simple: to bring together readers who share a passion for heartfelt stories, swoon-worthy characters, and authentic representation. Join us for an evening of lively discussion, tasty snacks, and genuine community connection. Whether you’ve read every sapphic romance under the sun or are just starting your journey, this is a safe, welcoming space to make new friends, share your thoughts, and celebrate love in all its beautiful diversity.

Come for the books, stay for the laughter, and leave with a heart full of joy (and maybe a few new friends!). We can’t wait to meet you and chat about our latest sapphic read!

We have limited space for this book club, so make sure you save yourself a spot.


For the November 22nd book club, we have a very special bookclub night coming up with a Friendsgiving Potluck and the book of the month I'll Get Back To You by Becca Grischow:

It’s Thanksgiving weekend in a small Midwestern town, and two former classmates strike a deal: fake date through the holiday to solve their very real problems - family pressures, exes, and a looming academic mess. Murphy’s stuck at home and desperate for a reset; Ellie’s back for the long weekend, equally in need of backup. Cue one pact, one holiday table, and a cascade of feelings neither planned on. What starts as “pretend” at a crowded Thanksgiving dinner turns into late-night confessions, chaotic family moments, and a second chance that might actually stick. It’s cozy, funny, and gloriously queer - the fake-dating, home-for-the-holidays romance your November needed.

Join us for Friendsgiving Sapphic Romance Book Club, where we’ll celebrate queer love, imperfect timing, and the power of reconnection - over a table full of your favorite comfort foods. Bring a dish, a friend, and an appetite for great conversation (and maybe pie).

And don’t forget - you can always stop by the store to grab your copy of I'll Get Back To You.
