BBFL Historical Fiction Book Club
Hey there, book lover! Have you ever wished you had a group of friends who get your love for historical fiction books—the kind who stay up way too late reading, cry over fictional characters, and text you things like “YOU HAVE TO READ THIS ASAP”? Well, you're in luck, because I’ve created just that: a virtual gathering space for passionate readers who want to connect, discuss, and discover great stories together. Welcome to the Book Besties for Life Book Club (aka the BBFL)!

What is the BBFL Book Club?
The BBFL is a monthly online book club hosted on Fable—a free and super easy-to-use app for book lovers. Every month, we choose a new book to read together and chat about it in the app.
Our picks tend to lean into historical fiction, literary fiction, and book-club-worthy reads—the kind that spark deep conversations and leave a lasting impression. But we’re not afraid to mix it up!
Why You’ll Love Being a BBFL Member:
-
Monthly book picks with meaningful themes, compelling characters, and strong storytelling
-
Ongoing discussion threads inside the Fable app, so you can join the convo anytime that works for you
-
Exclusive insights from me on why I chose the book and what themes to watch for
- A community of book besties who are just as excited as you are to fangirl over fictional worlds
