Kendra and Amanda are just a couple of queer folx from the midwest who aim to spread the word on queer-centric literature and creators by using a book club format. Each episode we read a book written by a queer author or featuring a queer character(s) and discuss the book with a guest. Generally the guests are actors, musicians, or other entertainers from the queer community or one of our allies. Help us spread the word on the wonderful world of queer literature.
