Every month Capital City Pride Book Club Members will read one LGBTQ+ book to read as a group. During the first week of each month, Capital City Pride will meet either in-person or via Zoom for discussions about the book. Sometimes, via Zoom, even the author can join us at some meetings! Every year the group votes on the selection of books to be read. If you have suggestions, share them with the moderator.
The Capital City Pride LGBTQ+ Book Club is completely free to join! Click the button below to join our facebook group "MSCCP LGBTQ Book Club" as it will serve as a safe place for continuous dialogue amongst the group. We look forward to reading with you!
We ask that, if possible, you buy your books from local Mississippi Book Stores. We will call these stores in advance of any books chosen to be read to make sure that they will have them in stock. Three that we recommend are:
Lemuria Books - Jackson MS (601-366-7619)
Violet Valley Bookstore - Water Valley, MS (662-506-2750)
Friendly City Books - Columbus, MS (662-570-4247)
Blending high-seas swashbuckling adventure, lyrical poetry and contemporary romance The Map That Led To You is another genre-defying, intoxicatingly rich tale of myth and magic from Rapunzella author Ella McLeod.
Perfect for fans of One Piece, this is an epic Black queer pirate fantasy that you won't be able to put down!
Ella McLeod is a writer, poet, and podcaster, who lives in South London with her fiancé and cat. She also co-hosts Comfort Creatures on the Maximum Fun Network. Ella loves Shakespeare, the Harlem Renaissance, mythology, and ramen, and firmly believes in the radical power of dreaming. This is her debut novel.
