Pride Book Club: Orlando by Virginia Woolf

“For there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of the mind.” – Virginia Woolf

Step into a world where stories shimmer with possibility, where time bends, identity blooms, and every page pulses with pride. The Capital City Pride Book Club is a gathering place for queer minds and curious hearts—a kaleidoscope of readers exploring works that challenge, comfort, and celebrate the full spectrum of LGBTQIA+ experiences.

Like Orlando, we wander through centuries and selves, from contemporary queer memoirs to classic transgressive fiction, from poetry that queers language to fantasy realms reimagined with chosen family and radical love.

Join us for our next meeting on August 13 at Little Book—a cozy corner of the world where every identity and story has a place on the shelf. Come as you are. Come to read. Come to be seen.
All identities, all genres, all questions welcome.

Let’s turn the page together.
