Find great queer literature at local LGBTQ booksellers during Independent Bookstore Day
This weekend is Independent Bookstore Day , and how lucky our sprawling city is to have not one but THREE queer-forward booksellers among our many local literary businesses.
Southside readers can enjoy all sorts of fun at Reverie Books: an all-day prize wheel, 20% off coupon, kids’ book trailer, and pop-up park, plus morning-to-noon mimosas and evening whiskey shots with your purchases. Plus, you get to see Stormy, their cute gray store cat. Me-wow! Worth the Menchaca drive, especially since you can take your new novel purchase over to Captain Quack’s for a coffee and cupcake lunch while you read.
On 12th and Chicon, East Austin babes have the Little Gay Shop, where queer books spill out onto the sidewalk. To be clear, this is a reference to how TLGS always has a little rack of low-priced used LGBTQ books in front of their brick-and-mortar – they are not blocking foot traffic, I promise! Visit ’em on Saturday to pick upNorth Austin girlies, I have not forgotten you: Right there on North Lamar is Austin’s longest-running feminist bookstore, BookWoman.
OH BUT JAMES, you cry out, WHAT DO I READ? Well, my suggestion is to search for authors you know – I’m always finding a new release I wasn’t aware of, and buying in-person means you don’t have to wait to crack in. You can also use queer literary award winner lists to help guide your search. Lambda Literary is a great source for new queer writers everyone’s raving about, so you can become part of the conversation.
