Queer Women Reading Whatever We Fancy: "Lost Lambs" by Madeline Cash
The Center, 208 W. 13th Street, New York, NY, USHi all! Sorry for the delay- I was away and didn't get a chance to post this beforehand.
Thank you all who came to our discussion of Yesteryear- polarizing and engaging (perfect for a book club). For next month, we're reading "Lost Lambs" by Madeline Cash (should be easier to get from the library) and here is link to the Goodreads profile.
Please, please, please feel free to send some book suggestions for upcoming book clubs- just message me privately here and we'll try to make it work.
We'll be at the Center again- potluck as usual.Thanks all!

Queer Book Club - Kin by Tayari Jones
Young Ethel’s, 506 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, USHey Everyone!
**Welcome to Queer Book Club!
We read books about, for and written by queer people! Follow us on Instagram @queer_book_clubOur next meetup will be held on Tuesday September 22nd at Young Ethel’s in Park Slope BK
This month we will be reading Kin by Tayari Jones
**Vernice and Annie, two motherless daughters raised in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, have been best friends and neighbors since earliest childhood, but are fated to live starkly different lives. Raised by a fierce aunt determined to give her a stable home in the wake of her mother’s death, Vernice leaves Atlanta at eighteen for Spelman College, where she joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected Black women and marries into an affluent family. Annie, abandoned by her dissolute mother as a child, and fixated on the idea of finding her and filling the bottomless hole left by her absence, sets off on a journey that will take her into a world of peril and adversity, as well as love and adventure, and culminate in a battle for her life.
A novel about mothers and daughters, about friendship and sisterhood, and the complexities of being a woman in the American South, Kin is an exuberant, emotionally rich, unforgettable work from one of the brightest and most irresistible voices in contemporary fiction.
**At the end of the discussion we can vote on which book we read for next month so bring a queer suggestion.
Make sure to support our amazing host bar, by buying drinks! They are so great to support us so we must do our part in return!
We are a lovely accepting group of queers and allies, and all are welcome!
Our book list is officially too long for meetup and will now live on this google doc!
