Queer Book Club is an inclusive reading group open to anyone from St Helens to come together to read and discuss LGBTQIA+ literature. Founded in Autumn 2023 by a group of local queer artists, producers and book-lovers, Queer Book Club is a space to share a love of queer novels, memoirs and writing.
This month we're reading...
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir; a 2019 science fantasy novel about a character who is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape.
Queer Book Club is drop-in, meaning you don’t have to have been before to take part, but we encourage you to read the book ahead of the session.
Access
We want to make Queer Book Club as accessible to as many people as possible and therefore we will hold two pre-bought copies of the book.
Either contact Britney via arthur.britney@heartofglass.org.uk or call in to The Book Stop to borrow a copy. Additionally, as a QBC reader, you also receive 20% off your copy of the chosen book this month at The Book Stop in St Helens by quoting "Queer Book Club" at the till.
Safer Spaces
These events will use Heart of Glass' Safer Spaces Agreement to create a space that aims to be as welcoming and respectful as possible.
