About Silver Spring LGBTQ Book Club

We read a variety of genres, not limited to LGBTQ-themes, and meet once a month to discuss a book and socialize.

Started in May 2018, our book club is way to meet other LGBTQ people in the area for socializing and friendship, and of course to read and discuss books. As a group we read one book a month and then get together to talk about it. Members suggest books to read and we select upcoming books as a group. We read a variety of genres, primarily fiction, with the occasional non-fiction book or memoir. We're not limited to LGBTQ authors or themes, although we read those too! See this page for how our members have rated our recent books.

We hold the book discussions at members' homes on a rotating but voluntary basis and provide light snacks and drinks. We meet on the third Thursday of the month, and our locations are usually not within walking distance to the metro.

We're looking for members who want to actively attend discussions!

This book club also exists as a meetup group for now. We are hoping to transition to using bookclubs.com exclusively in the future.
