Keep Austin Romantic December BOTM Discussion + Bookish White Elephant

December’s sleigh my name theme is full of holiday romcom laughter with our Book of the Month pick: Merry Christmas you filthy animal by Meghan Quinn. Note, this is a standalone book within a series and can be read on its own but we highly recommend reading book 1 because it’s that good!

About the book

A hilarious, steamy small-town holiday romance where two rival Christmas tree farmers are forced into chaotic proximity, holiday hijinks, and unexpected sparks that might just melt the snow around their hearts.

Bookish White Elephant

Bring a wrapped gift (under $25) or use one of the brown paper bags I’ll have on hand. Write fun hints or clues on the outside just like a blind date with a book! Fill your gift with anything bookish or holiday-themed: a book (new or used), ornament, mug, snack, cozy item, get creative and have fun with it. Optional to participate.

What to expect
If you’re new here, we’re a cozy, fun group with typically 10-15+ readers who meet up each month. We have a wide range of romance interests—romantasy, contemporary, dark, PNR, RH, and more. Hope to see you at an event! 🫶💕
