The Novel Queers
The Novel Queers is a bi-weekly queer novel read-along meets book club podcast. Think of us as your two queer, excitable friends who want to tell you all about that book we just read. First, we'll give you our book report. Then, we'll take you to book club for a deep dive. Each episode will cover a short story or chapters in a novel. This is not a spoiler-free podcast! Find us on Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram as The Novel Queers. Drop us a line at thenovelqueers@gmail.com
