Queer Readers sees out 2025!
Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday 15th December 2025 at 6.30pm in the New Farm Library meeting room.
It's time again for "The Annual X-mas Party!" Everyone is welcome to a night of socialising with your fellow book readers: fun, food, frivolity, queer trivia, & dodgy x-mas carols. Bring along a plate of food or drinks to share… dress up is optional!!! If you have any books you would like to swap, please bring them along also.
If you are looking to get a head start on the reading list for the new year (which I highly recommend due to the size of the selections) the theme for January 2026 is "Marathon Reads" with all books upwards of 500+ pages (you do have 2 months to read them!) There are plenty of copies and different media styles (ebook/ audiobook) for the recommended books from the reading list in the BCC Library service:
‘To Paradise’ by Hanya Yanagihara, 2022. 720pp, 33 copies, audiobook.
‘The Bee Sting’ by Paul Murray, 2024. 656pp. 75 copies, ebook, audiobook.
‘The Priory Of The Orange Tree’ by Samantha Shannon, 2019. 848pp. 12 copies, ebook.
·The second half of the meeting if time permits is a general discussion about any other book recommendations, TV/ films/ streaming, or events of interest to the Queer community.
Stay well and happy reading :-)
