Lasalle County Konnections
Book Club
A monthly online book club exploring romance, intimacy, relationships, and alternative lifestyles through thoughtful discussion and community connection.
The Intimate Reads Book Club is a welcoming, judgment-free space for adults interested in reading and discussing books that explore intimacy, identity, desire, consent, and relationship dynamics. Selections may include romance, erotic literature, memoirs, and educational texts focused on alternative lifestyles and relationships.
How It Works
Monthly Online Discussions
Once a month, members gather in a live voice chat on Discord to discuss the current book selection. Conversations focus on themes, representation, emotional impact, personal takeaways, and how stories reflect real-world experiences—all in a respectful and affirming environment.
