LGBTQ+ Book Club

Do you like reading and want to meet up to discuss books? Would you like to discover more LGBTQ+ books & authors? Then why not join our Book Club? This social evening will give you the opportunity to meet other book lovers and discuss what you liked, or disliked, about our book of the month.

West London Queer Project is a LGBTQ+ group that has been hosting events and activities for the local LGBTQ+ community for over three years. Please note that a lot of our regular members don’t use Meet Up, so the numbers of people attending our events will be substantially bigger than the amount you will see here as registered to attend.

We will meet at Room 2 in Chiswick, and food and drinks are available to purchase.

Our next Book Club will be centred around Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, first published in 2024.

We suggest that everyone who would like to join our Book Club on this date purchases the book (either electronically or physically), and comes prepared to talk about the book. Even if you started reading but didn’t finish, you are still welcome to join, but please be aware that discussions can cover all aspects of the book, including the ending.
