π GIVEAWAY! π Our September Book Club Pick
Thank you for signing up for the Nonbinarian Book Club! In honor of Banned Books Week (9/22-9/28), we are reading Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe. One part memoir, one part guide to gender and sexuality, Kobabe started the book to explain being nonbinary and asexual to eir family.
Following publication, Gender Queer received the 2020 American Library Association Alex Award and was named a 2020 Stonewall Book Awards Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Honor Book, in addition to receiving accolades from critics and readers alike.
Unfortunately, Gender Queer also became the most banned book in the U.S. in 2022 and 2023. Despite this attempted censorship, the book was released as a full-cast audiobook in May, and both the print and audio versions are beautiful.
Weβre giving away five (5) physical copies of Gender Queer to our community! Check out our Instagram for details on how to enter.
Join us on Friday, September 27 at 8 p.m. ET on Zoom to meet other club members and chat about the book! The Zoom link will be sent out on the day of the meeting.
The Nonbinarian Book Club is a monthly, virtual, queer and trans-focused book club in partnership with Bluestockings Cooperative. If you purchase the book through Bluestockings, you can get 15% off your order with code BOOKBIKE. If you prefer to listen to the audiobook, support indie bookstores and the Book Bike by purchasing through Libro.fm and selecting us as your store of choice!
Meetings take place on the last Friday of each month and book club picks will be announced via the Nonbinarian Newsletter and social media on the 1st of each month.
If ever you cannot afford to obtain a copy of the book club pick, please reach out to us via Instagram DM @nonbinarianbike or via email. No judgment, no questions. We take care of us.
