Every month two queer best friends, Amy and Chris, will dive into a curated selection of queer literature and give you their honest thoughts through their own unique perspectives. We will discuss the queer characters and themes present in these books, and the wonderful authors that have brought them to life. Come with us as we fill up our bookcases with the gayest books around and try our best to spread positivity and love for the books that are so vital to our LGBTQIA+ community. Episodes will release the last Tuesday of every month. If you'd like to read along and join in on the discussion, make sure you listen to find out what book we're reading next. You can e-mail us at thebiggaybookclub@gmail.com or find us on Instagram @tbgbookclub. Happy reading! Hosted on Acast.

Being the chosen one sucks, honestly, and Simon has had just about enough of that. This was a book that Amy and Chris both reread specifically so they can talk about it for the podcast, AND because they love it so dang much. Join them as they gush over their biggest ship of the season. 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/ .
