Held monthly at the Ann Arbor Jim Toy Community Center, LeRead is a lesbian-centered book club that focuses on bringing together women-loving-women from across the area through a love of reading. The chosen literature features LGBTQ themes. This month, the group will be reading "Of Gryphons and Other Monsters" by Shannon McGee.
"And it looks like Shannon, a Michigander, is even planning to join us! Of Gryphons is the first novel of a young adult, fantasy quartet," wrote event organizers. "The series features many LGBTQIA+ characters and is already receiving great reviews."
The novel is set in a mythical world filled with warriors, monsters and magic. Find a full description of the book on the group's Facebook page.
This event will start at 4 p.m. and will last until 6 p.m. New members should email [email protected] to join the private Facebook group.
