Lesbian Lit Book Group – Dec

Another Read Through 3932 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR, United States

This month we’re reading a new release, Sugar Land by Tammy Lynne Stoner. It’s in the style of a traditional southern book but has lesbians. Woot! It’s been getting a lot of buzz so hopefully it can withstand our critical discussion. We meet the first Tuesday of the month and talk about books with lesbian characters/content/issues. https://anotherreadthrough.indielite.org/book/9781597096270

Mystery Book Group – Dec

Another Read Through 3932 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR, United States

Up this month is a lighter read than we had at the holidays last year. We’ll be reading The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie for our December read, which should put us more in the holiday mood (than The Deep Blue Good-by did last year). We read mysteries and thrillers and meet on the third Tuesday of every month to discuss them. https://anotherreadthrough.indielite.org/book/9780385343497
