Hey wonderful strangers out there 🌻
I just wanted to share with you something we've been doing with some of our friends over the past few months, just because I feel we need more wholesome news, communal activities and joyful lives but somehow we believe it's difficult or that other people won't follow.

So since Nov. 2024 we've been hosting a #BookClub session both physically and digitally, as we have plenty of friends who live abroad. Our focus is primarily texts that promote muted voices and narrations, politically stimulating ideas and fiction that dares to imagine impossible worlds and new forms of life. Each month we propose a few readings and then prioritise which ones we wanna do first. We read the #book and then meet, drink coffee and wine, eat cookies, light some candles and discuss our thoughts and feelings.

It's not much but it has brought us excitement and fulfillment plus we really get to do some heated, super interesting discussions. Ultimately we have an extra reason to get together 💖

I'm gonna share our #ReadingList so far to give you a rough idea:

📖 The Hologram; Feminist, Peer-to-Peer Health for a Post-Pandemic Future by C. Thornton
📖 Witches, Midwives, and Nurses; A History of Women Healers by B. Ehrenreich & D. English
📖 Chav Solidarity by D. Hunter

@Likewise yes i agree. I read my books digitally and don’t often see the covers once i begin the book. But i keep a list in Notion that showcases the covers. I transitioned over 20 years ago to reading all my books digitally, but that is one of the things I miss - having a physical bookshelf where I can see all the covers of the books. #notion #readinglist #organize

Fediverse Queer Reading List

Recently I asked for recommendations for books that featured Queer Romances and were either Young Adult, Science Fiction, or Fantasy. The Fediverse responded with an avalanche of titles, which I have compiled into a neat little list and divided into the following sections:

Fediverse Authors
Authors of Color
Genderqueer Authors
Standalone Stories
Books in a Series
(Library Resources)
