Page Turners and LGBT+ History Month

Page Turners is a book club run by Edinburgh University's publishing and creative writing society, PublishED. We run on the basis of a monthly theme with a few suggested titles, but really you're free to read whatever you want! We'll be meeting weekly, aiming to discover a different cafĂ© around the city each time. If you can't make it to the meetings, no worries! Feel free to post any bookish musings right here in the group, or just read along with us 

As it's LGBT+ History month, we thought this would be a great opportunity to explore LGBT+ representation in literature.

Our previous theme in January was Coming of Age.

Check our Facebook or email list for more details and upcoming meetings!

Information about our events and the literary magazine we produce are readily available on this very site, yet they do not fully encapsulate the personal and atmospheric aspects of the society. Instead, this post is dedicated to (and here I accept the risk of drawing on the vacuous vocabulary of school boards and ur
