In the spirit of spookiness, this October’s Queer Bookclub will be reading The Many Deaths of Laila Starr by Ram V and Filipe Andrade—a lively comic book that explores the concept of life and death from the unique perspective of the god of Death herself.

Picture this: in a world where all the gods work for a corporation, the god of Death suddenly finds herself out of a job for the first time in eternity. Why? The man who will go on to invent immortality was just born. Newly mortal and vengeant, Death seeks to end his life as well as restore what she believes to be a balance between life and death. But on this journey, she must first learn what living and being human truly is.

Join us on October 27th from 5:30pm to 7pm to discuss The Many Deaths of Laila Starr—a vibrant and twisting comic that follows the former god of Death’s humbling voyage to understand mortality. There is no sign up required for this event, just show up ready to sip and snack while we discuss this one of a kind tale.

This September, Queer Book Club will be reading Butch Heroes written and illustrated by Ria Brodell. This book ventures to recover lost queer history through the interplay of vivid portraits and texts.

Join us September 29th, from 5:30-7pm to sip and snack while we share thoughts about these recovered queer histories as well as the pictures that depict them. This does not require registration—just come on in, grab a name tag, and get comfortable! Feel free to pick up a copy of Butch Heroes at your local library or bookstore. We hope to see you there!

Announcing our pick for Queer Book Club for July: "The Bricks that Built the Houses". Written by Kae Tempest, this novel pairs with a companion music album, "Everybody Down". 

Join us July 28th, from 5:30-7pm to share thoughts about this story. Whether you listen to the album, read the novel, or both, we would love to see you there.

This unexpected, restless love story is about being young, but being part of something old. It's about how we become ourselves, and how we effect our futures. Driven by ethics and empathy, it asks--and seeks to answer--how best to live with and love one another.

"The Bricks that Built the Houses" is available locally at Symposium bookstore, and the library! "Everybody Down" is available anywhere you listen to music.
