If you’re looking for a fun queer summer romcom, check out Double Booked by @lily_lindon or listen to our interview for a sneak peak into the plot 🌈

[Caitlin Gleeson @c_gleeson]

I had a brilliant time interviewing @lily_lindon for this ep of #thebrightonbookclub, if you’re looking for a queer romcom to see you through the summer Double Booked is the way to go. We chat tropes, u-hauling, and horoscopes 🔮 #doublebooked

Second recommended read is my favourite of the last few years, No Modernism without Lesbians by Diana Souhami published by @headofzeus. The most fascinating non-fiction I’ve read, I was blown away on every other page by the historical links. See our Insta for blurb! #litisqueer

[Lit is Queer @litisqueer]

Our read for this month is We Play Ourselves by @_Jen_Silverman published by @AtlanticBooks. Aside from having an appropriately artful cover, it plays upon withholding information from the reader until you’re absolutely craving to know. More on our Instagram! #litisqueer

To go alongside our book of the month, listen to Paul Mendez discuss writing with Naoise Dolan (author of Exciting Times). It’s always lovely to hear two authors discussing their craft and how story development comes to life 🌈 #litisqueer #books @ohdobookoff
