## Resource

Our hosts, Chris and Amy, read the hauntingly devastating When Haru Was Here this March! Admittedly, Chris picked this one up based on the cover alone, but what was nestled within that dust jacket lived up to its beauty. Written by Dustin Thao, this book is a unique story that is magical in all the best ways. Join The Big Gay Book Club this month for a discussion about grief, self discovery, and queer hope. Thank you to Kevin MacLeod for the use of our theme song, 'Werq.' You can find more of their music on https://www.incompetech.com/ .
