ONLINE: A Bookish Affair

A Romance Genre Book Group

Welcome to LOPL’s romance book group, A Bookish Affair! Open to all devotees of romance and happily-ever-afters. We will read widely in the genre, focusing on diverse voices and including every kind of love story. Be prepared to feel the love and expand your heart. 

In 2020, we moved online and will be there for the time being. Registration is required. And while you wait for the next book club, why not give our podcast a try? We've put further recording on hold, but with 45 episodes you can listen to our conversations about new-to-us titles and authors. For more information, please email librarians Shannon Dickinson at sdickinson@lakeoswego.city or Shannon Sedell at ssedell@lakeoswego.city
