The second meeting of the Pride Reading Group was held on February 28th. We read the first half of Hijab Butch Blues and discussed our thoughts and feelings that came up while reading this excellent memoir.
We are continuing to read Hijab Butch Blues and starting Koolaids: The Art of War by Rabih Alameddine
Date: TBD

Ebook options are available – click the book covers below for information.
A queer hijabi Muslim immigrant survives her coming-of-age by drawing strength and hope from stories in the Quran in this daring, provocative, and radically hopeful memoir.
An extraordinary literary debut, this book is about the AIDS epidemic, the civil war in Beirut, death, sex, and the meaning of life. Daring in form as well as content, Koolaids turns the traditional novel inside out and hangs it on the clothesline to air.
