About us

This group is for anyone interested in meeting people different from ourselves and reading speculative fiction books (sci-fi, fantasy, magical realism, etc) about those different experiences. Books will be on a variety of topics, ranging from various cultural/ethnic/racial groups, gender issues, LGBTQ+ issues, understanding implicit bias/privilege and learning how to have difficult conversations.

We meet once a month via Zoom on the third Sunday of every month with a few exceptions. We will host open book chats in June and July as well as town hall meetings in August.

This book club is open to individuals in all locations, as meetings will take place virtually. This is a place of learning and acceptance, so please be mindful before sharing.

Here's a list of what we'll be reading this year (2026):

  • Siren Queen by Nghi Vo (she/her)
  • Esperance by Adam Oyebanji (he/him)
  • One Hundred Shadows by Hwang Jungeun (she/her), trans. Jung Yewon (she/her)
