The Girls in Capes Book Club is a monthly book club featuring young adult, adult, and crossover titles highlighting protagonists and authors of diverse backgrounds. Every month, we read one book and discuss it with our Teammates.
Our book club discussions focus on what we liked and didn’t like about each book, whether or not our friends should read it, and similar books we also liked.
If you live in the Philadelphia area, you can participate in our book club meetup every month at Main Point Books in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Keep up with us on Facebook Events to find out when our next meetup will take place!
