I am beyond geeked to share news about our TCF book Club with you! If you’re anything like us, your TBR (to be read) list is always growing, your BookTok feed is overflowing with recs, and you live for those late-night reading sessions where you tell yourself “just one more chapter”… three times. But here’s the thing: how often do you see plus size characters– heroes, heroines, or fantastical leads, taking center stage in those stories? Not nearly enough. And when they do appear, they’re often tucked into the margins, given a sidekick role, or saddled with harmful stereotypes.
That’s why, this National Book Month, we’re beyond excited to officially launch something brand new: the TCF Book Club! Think of it as your new cozy corner of the internet dedicated to fat-positive stories, bold plus size heroines, and the fantasy and romance adventures where curves aren’t just included… they’re celebrated.
Why We’re Launching TCF Book Club
Representation in books is shifting, but there’s still a long way to go. Across BookTok, Goodreads, and even trending book blogs, we’re seeing plus size romances and fat-positive fantasy novels get more and more love. Readers are hungry for these stories, and the conversations around them are growing louder every day. We love to see it, but here’s the catch: those stories are often scattered, hard to find, and rarely spotlighted by mainstream media.
That’s where the TCF Book Club comes in. We’re here to fill that gap. Instead of digging through random Goodreads shelves or scrolling endlessly on TikTok, you’ll have a one-stop destination to find the best plus size romances, fantasy adventures, and even comics that feature fat-positive characters. We’re creating a hub where discovery is easy, celebration is loud, and community is at the heart of it all.
Meet Ashley, Leading the Way
We’re thrilled to announce that contributor Ashley will be steering this new chapter for TCF. If you’ve ever wished you had a bookish bestie who could hand you the perfect fat-positive romance or introduce you to a plus size fantasy heroine who slays (literally and figuratively), Ashley is that friend.
Ashley’s passion for storytelling and her love of fat representation make her the ideal person to guide this journey. With Ashley at the helm, expect recommendations that feel like a DM from your bestie saying, “You have to read this.”
