May Sci-Fi Reading Group Meetup

The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet Tuesday, May 16th, in the Quiet Reading Room from 7-8:30 pm to discuss Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey.

From Goodreads:
“Esther is a stowaway. She’s hidden herself away in the Librarian’s book wagon in an attempt to escape the marriage her father has arranged for her—a marriage to the man who was previously engaged to her best friend. Her best friend who she was in love with. Her best friend who was just executed for possession of resistance propaganda.

The future American Southwest is full of bandits, fascists, and queer librarian spies on horseback trying to do the right thing. They’ll bring the fight to you.

In Upright Women Wanted, award-winning author Sarah Gailey reinvents the pulp Western with an explicitly antifascist, near-future story of queer identity.”

The Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Tuesday of every month and is open to curious minds of all ages, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.
