About this event
24 Person Conference Room. New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Summer in an English Garden. Fall in the New England countryside. Winter at a Christmas tree farm. These novels are rooted into their time and place, and couldn't happen anywhere else. For this meeting, read a romance with a strong sense of place (or 2!) and come prepared to discuss how it fits within the Romance Genre! How does the setting influence the growing love? According to the Romance Writers of America, there are two basic elements of every romance novel: a central love story and an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending [RWA]. Beyond that, anything goes, from the setting to the tropes. Romance novels can be set in Victorian times, or modern times. They can be sweet, or extremely spicy. This group reads a book of their choice, based on the suggested theme/trope/subgenre. This allows our members to read what they enjoy, while also branching outside their comfort zone, just a little.
