Our next meetup date is the last Saturday of the month, November 29, at 1pm at 32 Lakes.

Same as last month, you’ll need to find and read a copy of this book before the date—the book club currently does not provide books.

After a sciency book, let’s dive into some great wonderworks fiction! I haven’t read this book since it came out around 2017 and I’m excited to see if and how my interpretations of it may have changed. I’m excited to talk about a fiction book with all of you!

@queerbookclubqathet This month we’re reading Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead. Described as a “tour-de-force debut” novel, Jonny Appleseed is about a Two-Spirit Indigiqueer young man and self-declared glitter princess who must reckon with his past when he returns home to his reserve.

#DaylightSavingTime ends this weekend!
Don’t forget to set any manual clocks back one hour before you go to bed (Saturday night) as the change happens at 2am Sunday, November 2nd. ⏰ 🔙
