About The Belle Book Club

A charming circle for women who love to read, gather, and share stories the old-fashioned way.

A cozy circle for women who believe in the magic of good stories, warm tea, and kindred spirits.
We meet virtually each month and gather in person once each season to laugh, discuss, and savor the timeless joy of a good book shared together.

​

In The Belle Book Circle, we curl up with timeless classics, hidden Southern gems, and modern books that warm our hearts or spark our minds. Every selection pairs beautifully with a cozy evening, a cup of tea, and a thoughtful discussion among kindred spirits.

​

Our Book Circle is open to all Northern Belles — whether you’re here for the community, the books, or both. We gather each month, you may attend in person or via online video.

​OPTIONAL ATTIRE FOR OUR SEASONAL AFTERNOON TEAS:

Our gatherings are meant to feel sweet, timeless, and comfortable — like stepping into a gentle afternoon with friends. Dress up as much or as little as you like, but here’s a bit of Belle inspiration if you’d love to join in the spirit:

​

🎀 Classic Tea Party Attire:

• Light dresses, floral prints, or soft pastels

• A simple cardigan or shawl if it’s chilly

• A pretty skirt with a blouse works beautifully too

 

🌸 Vintage Touches (Optional):

• Pearls, a brooch, or delicate jewelry

• A wide-brim hat or dainty fascinator (fun for photos!)

• Gloves if you love old-world flair

​

🌿 Comfort is Key:

• Low heels, ballet flats, or sweet sandals — practical but pretty

• Fresh, natural makeup or a classic red lip if you feel fancy

​

🌼 Seasonal Note:

• For spring/summer: soft cottons, florals, garden prints

• For fall/winter: cozy knits, darker florals, or vintage-inspired pieces

​

​✨ Always Optional, Always Welcoming:
Your warm smile is all that’s truly required — come as you are, but feel free to lean into the charm if it makes the afternoon feel extra special.
