Queer Reads is a monthly adult book club (18+) celebrating the diverse voices of queer authors, characters, and stories. Join us each month as we celebrate queer storytelling and foster the discovery of new ideas and unfamiliar lived-experiences.

Queer Reads meets on the Third Wednesday of every month at The Gold Vibe Kombuchary located at 12615 Charles Dr, Grass Valley, CA 95945.

Our November pick is Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington by James Kirchick. Pick up a free copy at your local Nevada County Library branch.

"'Secret City.' by James Kirchick, is a sprawling and enthralling history of how the gay subculture in Washington, D.C., long in shadow, emerged into the klieg lights. But it's also a whodunit to rival anything by Agatha Christie."
