JOIN OUR BOOK CLUB & SIGN-UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER
A monthly place to discuss classic and contemporary works of LGBTQ literature, the Violet Hour Book Club is open to the public. You don’t have to be an expert in literature to partake, nor do you even have to speak if you don’t want to. All that is required is a love of reading and books.
** Please take note of the time and location, as they can change from month to month (including some events in Toronto).
