We love our Romance Book Club! This year, we're doing something a bit different. We're picking romance sub genres and ask that you find a book by a debut author in that sub-genre (a book published which debuted in the last couple of years, preferably). So, this month, it's a Monster romance by a debut author - you know we love our monster romances! Whatever you pick, come ready to discuss, share and add some titles to your TBR pile!
