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)!

BBFL Book Club

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!

Hi there! I'm a 40-ish book lover, always looking for the next great read, particularly the best historical fiction. I live in Los Angeles with my fella and our fur babies, Fozzy and Polly. Working from home changed my life. Suddenly, I had time in my day to read again. I love sharing my reading journey here on my website and social media. Be sure to follow along for reading recommendations and honest book reviews.
