Join us for a fun and honest discussion about the books we secretly love – the ones we read for comfort, escape, or pure joy, but might hesitate to recommend at a dinner party. Romance novels, crime thrillers, fantasy epics, self-help guides, or even old teenage favorites – no judgment here!
Let’s talk about why we feel embarrassed by some of our reading choices, what these books mean to us, and whether the idea of “serious” literature is overrated.

During the session, we’ll also look at a few short book excerpts – real examples of so-called “guilty pleasure” reads – and evaluate them together. What makes them work? What makes them cringe-worthy? You decide.
