QEWBOO Book Club

About the Book Club

QEWBOO stands for Queer Explorers of Worlds Beyond Our Own. The book club reads queer speculative/science fiction and fantasy. Many of the books read contain graphic content. Participants are encouraged to review trigger warnings before starting any book, and alternative readings are suggested when appropriate.

The QEWBOO book club meets at 2 p.m. on the last Sunday of each month and discusses a different science fiction or fantasy novel. We've been able to connect with authors before, so keep an eye out!

COVID Precautions

It is a requirement for both the bookstore and the book club to wear a mask. An air purifier will be running in the room throughout the duration of the book club meeting.

Cost: Please bring a contribution (sliding scale $1-5) for the meeting room reservation at Under the Umbrella. If $1 a month is a barrier for you, you are still welcome to attend!

When possible, please support the store and the authors by purchasing a copy here! Most books should also be available at local libraries. One copy of each book is available for free to any BIPOC person interested in reading the book but unable or unwilling to pay for a copy. Please contact Sarah if cost is a barrier for you. If you buy a book for next month's book club at Under the Umbrella, you get 10% off your book.  

RSVP is strongly encouraged.

Join us in person or virtually!
