Edmonton Lesbian+ Book Club

Hi lesbian book club members, Happy summer! READING LIST UPDATE: * July 07: Queen of the Oddballs by Hilary Carlip * August 07: Disobedience by Naomi Alderman I received a fun note from a new author from Montreal, Nairne Holtz, wondering if we'd add her book to our list and tentatively offering to do a reading for the book club! Details will be posted if it works out. Check out Nairne's website with a bibliography of Canadian literature - it's great. We had planned to add Where Bones Dance by Nina Newington, because a) it sounds really good ( see here ) and b) we heard she has recently moved to Edmonton and were hoping to invite her to join us. But we threw it on the back-burner because it's still in hardcover and pretty expensive. As soon as it hits paperback, it's on.

Hi all, Just want to point out that if you look to the top left of this page, you'll always find our most current reading list. It's june, we're reading In a Queer Time and Place by Judith Halberstam. I used to read someone's blog ( live@lakeridge ) and she often raved about her friend, how she's published, etc. then this friend was nominated for a lambda award, so we selected her memoir - Queen of the Oddballs by Hilary Carlip - for July. One of our members told us about Disobedience by Naomi Alderman and it sounded so good we made it our August selection. That's it for now!
