Hello, I'm new!

[Barbara]

Hello! My name is Barbara and I'm a newbie to this group! I have started the first book club at my school and I am in dire need of new books to read - and I want to make sure to include lgbtqa books because many of my kids (members of the club) are queer like me! I would love to have recommendations on books!

[Bill, Moderator]

Welcome Barbara!

What age are your kids?

[Nancy]

Welcome, Barbara!

Check out our group bookshelf for lots of great tities.

I would highly recommend Down to the Bone.

A warm welcome to you Barbara! Hope you enjoy the group - let us know which books your book club reads and what they think of them if you can. I'd love to hear what they thought! Hope it's ok - I moved this thread to the 'Introduce Yourself' folder. :)

Another good thread to check is the 'Which GLBT books do you want to re-read?' thread. You'll have to screen for age appropriateness though because there's a wide range of books discussed.

One idea: I haven't read it myself, but I've heard many good things about Tell the Wolves I'm Home. It was one of our group reads a while ago; so you can scroll back through the group read threads and get more info.

Hey! I'm Hayden and I am gay and single soooo.... Ya! Friend me if you want!

Welcome Bernie and Hayden! Not sure about the question with gay comic writers. Probably but I can't think of one at this exact moment. I'm sure it'll come to me later.
