Plush Bodies Book Club

The Plush Bodies Book Club’s mission is to provide a safe space for folks in all bodies who have been harmed by diet culture and rampant anti-fat bias to discuss cool books. We welcome people who identify as fat, plus-size, higher weight, or living in a larger body. We select books that have themes of fat liberation, body liberation and/or multi-dimensional fat characters.
