After last night's amazing discussion at Femme Book Club, we picked next month's book. Zoe Whittall's Bottle Rocket Hearts. She is a Femme from Toronto, who we adore. And it is a Femme coming of age story! (We haven't had a lot of that in Book Club.) Again, totally try to get the book from an indie book seller. Our meeting will be Tuesday, March 2 at 7:15 at the Silver Spurs diner on the corner of Houston & LaGuardia Pl in Manhattan.
