Queer Girls' Book Club

A welcoming literary safe space for women, trans, and non-binary bookworms

📚 Islington Monthly - last Thursday Social Fiction Literary fiction LGBTQ+

Hello friend! We are the Queer Girls' Book Club, a warm and lively space for women, trans, and non-binary bookworms meeting at Housmans Bookshop near King's Cross. We gather on the last Thursday of every month to explore contemporary and historically significant queer literature.

Our discussions are famously safe, welcoming, and incredibly engaging. Loved the book? Amazing! Absolutely hated it? Even better-come and share your spicy opinions with us! Our goal is to connect, laugh, and share our lived experiences through the power of queer storytelling. Grab a ticket via Eventbrite and head on down to our next session. We can't wait to welcome you into our friendly community!

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Rachel Okafor · 15 June 2026 I was someone's mum from 6am to midnight. A book club gave me back two hours that were mine. After my son was born I disappeared into being his mother. The thing that brought me back wasn't a spa day or a grand gesture. It was a paperback and a room full of women. Arjun Mehta · 13 June 2026 I optimised my whole life in London. Except the part that actually mattered. I moved here for a brilliant engineering job and built a life so efficient I barely had to speak to anyone. It worked perfectly, right up until it didn't. A running club fixed what I couldn't. Stephen Pryce · 11 June 2026 I couldn't remember the last time I'd made a new friend. Then I made one at 41. My friendships had quietly thinned out over a decade, and I'd stopped believing new ones were still possible at my age. A weekly board game night proved me wrong.
