About this Event

Join us at Lavender Menace for our monthly book club.

For October, we're reading Eat The Ones You Love by Sarah Maria Griffin.

We meet on the third Sunday each month to discuss queer books through a lens of finding joy in LGBTQ+ stories. Queer books are often distressing or tragic, so we started a book club focused on seeking out more uplifting stories. That doesn't mean we always read lighthearted books, but through our discussions we try to focus on the joyful aspects of living a queer life.

Booking
Booking in advance is essential as places are limited so, if you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your place to someone else.

Venue & Accessibility
The event is located at the Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive in Edinburgh Palette. There is information on how to get to us on public transport and by car, along with access information, on our location & accessibility page.

Any other questions
Please email us: [email protected]
