Ohio is for AutoStraddlers 12 years, 4 months agois anyone interested in starting a book club and / or film club in the cleveland area? would also like to plan a meet-up for sometime in july…
-
I definitely am – I’ve actually been on the lookout for a book group for a while.
-
awesome. hopefully we can garner a bit more interest, and then decide where we want to take the idea. i was thinking a monthly or every other monthly meet-up with rotating book selection.
-
I would definitely be up for a book club.
I also would be up for a meetup in July, though it would need to be the next week for me to attend. Any ideas about what to do/where to meet?
-

-
well, we’re up to three members. is that enough to start a club?
as for the meetup- i’m down for whatever. we could grab drinks somewhere in ohio city or tremont. or coffee?
-
I think three is definitely enough to start a club. Why not?
I’d be up for drinks or coffee in Ohio City or Tremont. I see you are looking to make something happen next week. I’ll be going out of town on Wednesday and have plans on Tuesday but I’m free Monday. I know that would be short notice…-
eh- we can always wait a week.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoGuys, I just started reading Annie On My Mind. I am so excited, but the first few pages were sad already. I am anticipating identifying too closely with the main character.
Any other good queer fiction to recommend? I’ve got the nonfiction more or less covered.
-
I love tipping the velvet by Sarah Waters. I’ve also read oranges aren’t the only fruit, which to me was quite strange but I guess if it’s in your library, give it a go.
-
Oranges Aren’t the Only Fruit is an interesting read – Winterson has a different way of writing but it’s powerful nonetheless. Give it a try.
-
Another great YA lesbian novel is Keeping You a Secret. Also a bit sad, but it’s pretty good. Not as well written as Annie on My Mind, though.
-
Oh, and ASH by Malinda Lo. It’s a lesbian retelling of Cinderella!
-
i second this, and add “huntress” #omg #sogood

all the books by julie anne peters (“grl2grl:short fictions” is a fav, as well as “between mom & jo” and “rage: alove story”). hello groin, by beth goobie, “dare, truth, or promise” by paula boock, and “down to the bone,” by mayra lazara doyle, and “gravity by leanne lieberman #yalit #lgbt

Ohio is for AutoStraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoYou guys, Cedar Point is so gay. Does anyone want to do a meetup there?
Also, I live in Sandusky and am biased. I hear Kings Island is also a thing, maybe?
-
Okay, I don’t even live in Ohio (if it helps, I was born to an Ohioan) but a Cedar Point meetup needs to be done. It just does. Rainbows and roller coasters forever. But I dunno when I’ll be heading up there, probably around the end of the month.
Also: how do you spell Ohioan -
I’d be down for a Cedar Point meetup. But I’m also biased because I’m from the same area sooo…there’s that.
-
much like sarah palin and alaska, i can see kings island fro my house. in fact, they’re doing fireworks right now.
-
sweet!
-
-
Ok, so if we want this to be a thing, we have to pick. It doesn’t matter to me; someone just pick something that works. I’m thinking a weekday in early August.
-
works for me. that would be enough time for people to plan, right?
