Reading Between the Lines is a book-centered gathering that brings the LGBTQ community together for thoughtful, group conversation. The book is chosen by past attendees, which helps shape each gathering into something that feels shared and community-driven from the start.
The discussion is open and welcoming, with people jumping in to share thoughts, listen, and connect through different perspectives. You do not need to be a fast reader or have every page finished to feel part of the conversation. Curiosity and openness go a long way here.
Our Community Managers and the owners of Howling Basset Books, welcome newcomers and help guide the discussion so everyone has space to participate.
