Join us for Rotating Reads Book Club, a reading group that explores fiction, non-fiction, memoir/biography and classics every first Thursday of the month. For a fun twist, one of these months will also be a freestyle "book report" where everyone reads something different, and shares what they read with the group.

Every month, a different volunteer will serve as the “host”. Their role will be to select the book, guide the discussion, and bring any fun insights or background about the author or genre. 

Sign up for book clubs at Glendora Bookshop by email, call/text, or just stop in and inquire!

For the month of April, Rotating Reads Book Club will be diving into All Boys Aren’t Blue: A Memoir- Manifesto by George M. Johnson. Be sure to snag your copy at Glendora Bookshop to save 10%!

From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer boys.

Both a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer men of color, All Boys Aren't Blue covers topics such as gender identity, toxic masculinity, brotherhood, family, structural marginalization, consent, and Black joy. Johnson's emotionally frank style of writing will appeal directly to young adults. (Johnson used he/him pronouns at the time of publication.)
