Book Club Roundup: March

TNG contributor Philip submitted this post.

Dear TNG Readers:

Here are 6 book club event listings from 5 different area gay or lesbian book clubs. The Lambda Sci-Fi Book Club meeting is this week (February 27), so pull your copy of Dead Until Dark (the basis for the True Blood TV series) off the bookshelf if you'd like to attend!

Click on "Read more..." for all the clubs and their dates, times, and books. All links on the name of a book club take you to its webpage. All links on the names of the books take you to their page on the website of Lambda Rising.

As an additional note, TNG is now a participant in the Lambda Rising affiliate program. If you click the link of a book mentioned on the website—for example, in this very column—and purchase it using Lambda Rising’s online ordering, a percentage of the sale price will come back to TNG. It’s a way to show the love for our main local gay bookstore and support TNG simultaneously.

As always, all the clubs listed here welcome new members at any time, and you're under no obligation to go to every meeting in order to be a member.

Go read!

Best wishes,
Philip
