Queer Book Club

First Mondays Starting October 5th

Part of our Camas Pride Queer All Year Initiative

Join us for a monthly gathering of readers, thinkers, and dreamers as we explore powerful stories and ideas from Queer authors and voices. Our book club alternates each month between nonfiction and fiction, creating space for both reflection and imagination.

This round’s lineup:

  • Love in a F*cked Up World by Dean Spade

  • A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

  • Our Bold Voices: Defiant Moments

When: First Mondays, starting October 5th
Time: 9 am
Where: Bookish 3533 NE Everett St, Camas, WA 98607

Membership Options (3-month series):

Each membership comes with a copy of that month’s book, one drink of choice and the facilitated discussion.

  • Rooted Membership ($90 – covers participation and helps us keep this program running

  • Rising Membership ($150) – includes participation plus a contribution to our Queer All Year Fund, supporting future events and community care

Come for the books, stay for the community. Together we’ll celebrate queer stories, deepen our connections, and keep building joy all year long.

Meet Your Facilitator

Jess Sideropoulos (they/them) is a hot queer living up the hill in Camas with their coparent and two littles. They garden obsessively, have way too many liberatory books in the stack at once, and make music like it's their job. Find them on social media @fairyduststudio__ 

Check back often for updates as we continue to plan ongoing year-round events and be sure to follow us on Instagram @CamasPride

You are cordially invited to bring the whole family down and participate in our 4th annual family-friendly Camas PRIDE Festival in 2026!

Until then, check out our 2025 event:
