Happy Tuesday, book clubbers!

This month, we read The Work by Bri Lee. The Work follows Lally, who has invested everything into her gallery in Manhattan and she’s enjoying it because the sacrifices are finally paying off. We also follow Pat, a scholarship boy desperate to establish himself in Sydney's antiquities scene. When they meet at New York's Armory Show their chemistry is instant. But while the book follows their relationship and how it develops, we also follow their pretty flawed decision-making as they try to make it in the art world.

Happy Tuesday, book worms!

For Memoir March, we read The House of Hidden Meaning by RuPaul. His memoir painted an intricate portrait of what it was like growing up Black and queer in a broken home, as well as detailing his inherent belief that fame was always his destiny. At its core, this is a memoir about identity and RuPaul’s influence on changing the way the world thinks about drag.
