NOW ON MONDAY MARCH 8 – 7:15

followed by an organizer’s meeting @ Silver Spurs

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.

Leather Daddy and the Femme cover

You should totally buy the book from Bluestockings (support local indie bookstores), but if you want it from Amazon that link works, and pennies of the sale benefit queerfatfemme.com!

We have lively and fun discussions, and speaking for me personally I have always walked away with an enhanced understanding of myself after we discuss a work.

xoxo,

Bevin
