This October we are trying something a little different, we are reading 2 books by the same author so that we can compare and contrast! We chose 2 titles from Nina LaCour because one of our members tells us they are quicker, lighter reads in the young adult genre. We are looking forward to chatting about Everything Leads to You and Hold Still.
In November we are reading Emma Donoghue's The Sealed Letter. We are big fans of Emma Donoghue, having already read Hood and Slammerkin for the book club.
In December we are making a rare exception to our rule of reading only lesbian authors to read Ursula K Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness, a classic title set in an alien world whose inhabitants can choose and change their gender.
Let us know of any titles you'd like to see for the coming months! I'm always desperately on the hunt for lesbian authors from parts of the world outside of Canada, the US and the UK (we've read those in spades, obviously, and love them, but love to read diverse perspectives too). Any classic titles that we haven't read are great too - just please don't suggest Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues, we've tried several times but it's out of print and we just can't seem to make it happen! ALL suggestions are welcome!
