This Month’s Book!

Down the Drain

by Julia Fox

Meeting Date: Nov 7 at 6 p.m. at PAT @ Giovanni’s Room

What happens at a queer book club meeting?

During meetings, you’ll meet new folks, have some chats in small and large groups, and build some queer community. If you don’t know where to start, we post discussion questions before to give you inspiration. Everyone’s also asked to share one word about the book. We’ll also discuss future selections, and you’ll have a chance to buy next month’s book. If you’re comfortable, after the meeting, we encourage people to continue convivial chats at a local bar.

If you missed a past meeting but still want to reflect on one of our past selections, all our past discussion questions are available here! Also included are suggestions for leading your own queer book club discussion if you need some conversation starters or guidelines.
