The next Bi+ Book Club meeting will be Wednesday, August 1 at 7:00 pm at Quatrefoil Library (1220 E Lake St, Minneapolis, MN 55407). This month we will be reading "House of Sable Locks" by Elizabeth Schechter.

From Passionate Plume award finalist Elizabeth Schechter comes a steampunk novel of dark passion. In a respectable neighbourhood, on the top floor of a beautiful house, crouches the Succubus; by design, and by temperament, she is all that men crave and fear. To the wealthy and privileged men of London, the Succubus is a test they must pass to gain access to the House of Sable Locks, the most exclusive brothel in town. However, to William, a wealthy young man born and raised in India, she is the very essence of his desires.

The Bi+ Book Club reading for July 11th will be "Irrepressible: The Jazz Age Life of Henrietta Bingham" by Emily Bingham.

Summary: "Bingham was offered the helm of a publishing empire. Instead, she ripped through the Jazz Age like an F. Scott Fitzgerald character: intoxicating and intoxicated, selfish and shameless, seductive and brilliant, endearing and often terribly troubled. In New York, Louisville, and London, she drove both men and women wild with desire, and her youth blazed with sex. But her love affairs with women made her the subject of derision and caused a doctor to try to cure her queerness. After the speed and pleasure of her early decades, the toxicity of judgment from others, coupled with her own anxieties, resulted in years of addiction and breakdowns. And perhaps most painfully, she became a source of embarrassment for her family—she was labeled "a three-dollar bill." But forebears can become fairy-tale figures, especially when they defy tradition and are spoken of only in whispers."

The Bi+ Book Club meets from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Quatrefoil Library, at 1220 E Lake St, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55407. Hope to see you there!
