Gay and Lesbian Book Club Roundup (February)

Dear TNG Readers:

Here are 6 book club event listings from 5 different area gay or lesbian book clubs. The Lavender Book Club meeting is this week (January 27), so grab and brush up on your copy of the Sedaris if you'd like to attend!

In local book club news, Bookmen DC is contemplating forming an off-shoot that would gather at private homes to discuss non-GLBT books. More information on that as it becomes available.

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 or another independent bookstore.

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.

Get out there and share your reading with others!

Best wishes,
Philip
