Aromantic

[close] We're a new group building a reliable bookshelf-database of Crime Fiction, Indie Fiction, Science Fiction, Erotica, Poetry, and all other books that MENTION and REVEL in cursing, sex, criminal activities of all kinds, violence, dubious sexual consent, and other adult themes that go with the theme of the book we're reading without ZERO warnings. The term "trigger" is a bad word in this group. After all, we're fucking ADULTS. We're inspired by authors like Charles Bukowski and Donald Goines who lived their pain through their very real uncensored works, who would have never had a chance to express themselves alongside others had all this political correct bullshit had of existed in their time. We reserve every author has a right to freedom of speech and expression, under the moniker that every author has a right to tell the story they want to tell and defend their right to tell it even if we DO NOT AGREE WITH IT. We do not pass judgement as long as they are being true to their character. So yes, if you're a Klansman or a Black Panther writing a doctrine of racial purity we MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH IT but we will put it in a special section for those who DO. And if that is too much for adult readers to grasp then they need to see themselves to the Dr. Seuss section. This is a thread for grown folks that aren't outraged every time uncomfortable themes scares them in their little corner of the earth. Join our long term project by sharing your recent reads in our monthly chat. Once a month we update the bookshelf database but recommendations are welcome everyday of the year!

[close] Welcome to the LGBTQIA+ Book Club's discussion forum for all queer literature discussions as well as unrelated group discussions concerning LGBTQIA+ issues brought up in literary discussion, etc. If you're interested at all, do not hesitate to join this LGBTQIA literary group. Open to all wishing to read and discuss queer lit! Note: If the group decides to do so, the book club can be opened to non-queer lit on occasion. P.S. This is a new LGBTQIA+ Book Club and will need time to develop structure and actually begin reading books together as a group.

[close] A place to find and discuss books which might interest Asexual and Aromantic readers and readers of all stripes. Everyone is welcome! This is an all ages space. Please keep that in mind when discussing potentially sensitive topics.

[close] ON HIATUS TLDR: We read queer female-identified, non-binary, and trans authors. We are indebted to live and read in amiskwaciwâskahikan. We’re Edmonton Lesbian+ Book Club. We hope the "+" lets bi, pan, ace/aro, queer, 2-Spirit, non-binary and trans book lovers know you belong here. Just to reiterate who we are: We welcome queer women/fem-identified, non-binary people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, religious backgrounds, and socio-economic classes. We also welcome the presence of their families, friends, and community members who get it. We wish to specifically extend a welcoming invite to Indigenous and Black women, disabled women, fat women, trans men and women, bisexual women, non-binary peeps, people of colour, and asexual women. We meet every month, except December. If you'd like to join us, please contact Kim and we'll give you the details! https://www.instagram.com/edmontonlesbian.plus.bookclub/
