Edmonton Lesbian+ Book Club

Hi all, We've added a bunch of titles to our reading list. I hope you'll check them out and join us! We don't meet in December. With all the holidays, no one seems to have the time to make book club happen that month! In January, we'll read Toronto author Farzana Doctor's newest title, All Inclusive . Very excited and hoping to hook up with Farzana to discuss! In February it's Dirty River by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. In March we'll read Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta. April's title is The Walk-In Closet by Abdi Nazemian. May we'll read Yabo by Alexis De Veaux. And finally in June we are going to read Vancouver's Amber Dawn in her memoir How Poetry Saved My Life. Keep in touch folks!

This month, we're reading Shani Mootoo, AGAIN. What can I say, we like her. Her latest, Moving Forward Sideways Like a Crab , is our February title. March we are reading local author Laurie MacFayden's kissing keeps us afloat , and Laurie is going to join us to read a little something! Tell all your friends! Bring all your friends! In April, we're going to read Sarah Waters latest, The Paying Guests , and in May, Ann-Marie MacDonald's Adult Onset . In book club news, December's foray into a non-lesbian sci-fi writer seems to have been a terrible failure.
