We aim to provide a platform where members can engage in meaningful discussions, fostering connections and understanding. At BIA, we believe that Black unity is Black community, and that is the bedrock on which this book club was founded - COMMUNITY!
The Inklusion Club is not just a book club; it's a safe space where Black individuals and allies can share their thoughts, experiences, and aspirations openly. We strive to create an environment that encourages personal growth, cultural appreciation, and the exploration of untold stories. Through literature, we build bridges, cultivate empathy, and empower each other to thrive socially and creatively, as individuals, and as a community.
Join us as we embark on a literary journey that celebrates the richness of Black identities and cultivates a sense of belonging. Together, let's create a space where Black voices are heard, cherished, and empowered.
About The Neighbor Favor:
A shy bookworm enlists her charming neighbor to help her score a date, not knowing he’s the obscure author she’s been corresponding with, in this sparkling and heart-fluttering romance by Kristina Forest.
Shy, bookish, and admittedly awkward, Lily Greene has always felt inadequate compared to the rest of her accomplished family, who strive for Black excellence. She dreams of becoming a children’s books editor, but she’s been frustratingly stuck in the nonfiction division for years without a promotion in sight. Lily finds escapism in her correspondences with her favorite fantasy author, and what begins as two lonely people connecting over email turns into a tentative friendship and possibly something else Lily won’t let herself entertain—until he ghosts her without a word.
Months later, Lily is still crushed, but she’s determined to get a hold of her life, starting with finding a date to her sister’s wedding. And the perfect person to help her is Nick Brown, her charming, attractive new neighbor, who she feels drawn to for reasons she can’t explain. But little does she know, Nick is an author—her favorite fantasy author.
Nick, who has his reasons for using a pen name and pushing people away, soon realizes that the beautiful, quiet girl from down the hall is the same Lily he fell in love with over email months ago. Unwilling to complicate things even more between them, he agrees to set her up with someone else, though this simple favor between two neighbors is anything but—not when he can't get her off his mind...
