Illuminated Ink Book Club Interest Form
Illuminated Ink Book Club Interest Form
Hi all! Because I'm not doing enough already, I've decided to finally work on opening up a monthly queer book club! This form is to gather information and gauge interest and preferences. This is something I've been keen to do for a minute, as I love chatting all things books and it can feel hard to find a specifically queer book club. This book club would be open to everyone in the community!

Sing to Me by Jelena Curic
Sing to Me by Jelena Curic
Sing to Me by Jelena Curic This is a story of confronting reality, how to forgive, and be forgiven, reclaiming life and rediscovering the soul’s song. On every mountain a melody can be heard, each melody is unique. Even on two sides of the same mountain range, the songs will differ, they will not share the same key nor will their words share the same history.
Swallow by Alexandria Burnham
Swallow by Alexandria Burnham
The true story of William Swallow – Australian convict and the last man put on trial for piracy in an English court. It’s 1829 and Swallow has been sent to Van Diemen's Land – for the second time. He is sentenced to die in the hell-hole known as Sarah Island. But he has other ideas. On the journey from Hobart to his final prison, he rallies his fellow convicts and leads them to mutiny. Bruised by the betrayal of John, a fellow convict, friend, and lover, William plans to sail back home to England. Back to his wife Susannah and their young children.

Crying Gorgeously; 4:37am - Westwords
This poetry collection is a series of experiments, a body erupting in defiance and resistance to the language being rained upon it. Wrapped in pervasive loneliness and othering, J. Marahuyo explores the effects of dysfunctional family dynamics, colonialism and patriarchal structures on mental health and identity.
