What we’re about
Santa Barbara Book Babes is a growing community of women (aged 20-40) who share a passion for fiction books, lively discussions, and forming meaningful connections over monthly reading. We explore anything from gripping thrillers to heartwarming romances, epic fantasies to literary masterpieces, and anything in between. We welcome any woman looking to explore the vast ocean of fictional worlds together whether you’re a seasoned bibliophile or looking for ways to reignite your love for reading.
Our monthly gatherings are a celebration of storytelling, where we chat over compelling reads and find new perspectives through the eyes of diverse characters while enjoying the beautiful backdrop of Santa Barbara. Our gatherings are more than just book reviews – they’re also a chance to unwind, share ideas, and spark friendships over a shared passion and engaging conversation.
Enjoy captivating stories with us as we challenge our perspectives and celebrate the power of women supporting women through the magic of books.
Join us for:
• Monthly rotating book selection to ensure diverse reads
• Monthly in-person meetings at local beaches, parks, cafes or members’ homes to recap that month’s read
• Casual, welcoming atmosphere for all reading levels
• Opportunities for social events beyond book discussions
• Focus on empowering and connecting women through literature
