About the site
Double Booked Club is a searchable database of BIPOC-authored romance novels, operated as an independent project. Our goal is to make diverse romance fiction more discoverable for readers and to provide useful reference information for the romance community.
The database

This content reflects our interpretations and is inherently subjective. We make no warranties about the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any information in the database.
We update the database on an ongoing basis and reserve the right to add, remove, or modify any entry at any time without notice. The presence of a book in the database does not constitute an endorsement of the book, its content, or its author.
