Southbay Lesbian/Bi Book Club

San Jose, CA

Southbay Lesbian/Bi Book Club
This is a group for queer women and nonbinary people of *all* stripes who are attracted to women. We strive to be a safe and welcoming space for every member of our community. We are anti-racist and anti-TERF. Members take turns picking a book and hosting meetings. Books can come from any genre, not just queer lit. Meetings are also potlucks and social events, so bring a dish and be ready to dish! In addition to book club meetings, we also get together for other social events. We encourage members to post ideas and invite others to join in on different activities! **WHEN AND WHERE WE MEET** Book club is once a month, normally on the 3rd Sunday of the month, from 1pm-3pm. We meet at one-another’s homes throughout the Bay Area. We ask that members RSVP by a week before an event takes place, to give hosts time to prepare their spaces. **BOOK SELECTION PROCEDURE** Books are selected by that month’s host. If a host is unable to pick, readings are chosen at random from [a list of books previously recommended by members.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O7ZcYx6JDQR1CPBKbNBCaV85ICt6zGb8vGDtifRREaw/edit?usp=sharing) **OUR PAST BOOKS** ***2009*** October 18, 2009: Troll: A Love Story-- by Johanna Sinisalo November 22, 2009: Kabul Beauty School-- by Deborah Rodriquez December 20, 2009: The Art of Racing in the Rain-- by Garth Stein ***2010*** January 17, 2010: Me Talk Pretty One Day--by David Sedaris February 21, 2010: The Rabbi's Cat--by Joann Sfar March 21, 2010: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society-- by Mary Ann Shaffer April 18, 2010: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao--by Junot Diaz May 16, 2010: Infidel--by Ayaan Hirsi Ali June 20, 2010: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers--by Mary Roach July 18, 2010: Hard Times-- by Blayne Cooper August 15, 2010: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks--by Rebecca Skloot September 19, 2010: The Devil in the White City--by Erik Larson October 17, 2010: Sexual Fluidity--by Lisa Diamond November 2010: The Winged Dancer--by Camarin Grae ***2011*** January 2011: Patience & Sarah--by Isabel Miller February 2011: Affinity--by Sarah Waters March 2011: Madras on Rainy Days--by Samina Ali April 2011: Written on the Body-- by Jeanette Winterson May 2011: Small Island-- by Andrea Levy June 2011: By Nightfal--by Michael Cunningham July 2011: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo--by Stieg Larsson August 2011: State of Wonder--by Ann Patchett September 2011: Island Beneath the Sea-- by Isabel Allende October 2011: The Wooden Sea--by Jonathan Carroll November 2011: The IHOP Papers--by Ali Liebegott December 2011: No book--Happy Holidays! ***2012*** January 2012: Odd Girl Out (plus Beebo Brinker series)--by Ann Bannon February 2012: The Psychopath Test--by Jon Ronson March 2012: Pages For You--by Sylvia Brownrigg April 2012: We Need To Talk About Kevin--by Lionel Shriver May 2012: Some We Love, Some We Hate--by Hal Herzog June 2012: The Sense of An Ending--by Julian Barnes July 2012: The Hunger Games-- by Suzanne Collins August 2012: Now Is The Hour--by Tom Spanbauer September 2012: Moonwalking with Einstein--by Joshua Foer October 2012: The Slow Fix--by Ivan E, Coyote November 2012: My Name is Red--by Orhan Parmuk December 2012: David Sedaris books ***2013*** Jan 2013: Quiet:The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking-by Susan Cain February 2013: Middlesex--by Jeffrey Eugenide March 2013: Gone Girl--by Gillan Flynn April 2013: Wild--by Cheryl Strayed May 2013: Cannery Row--by John Steinbeck June 2013: Runaway--by Alice Munro July 2013: Just Kids--by Patti Smith August 2013: 11/22/63--by Stephen King September 2013: By Blood--by Ellen Ullman October 2013: Feed--by Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire November 2013: My Stroke of Insight--by Jill Bolte Taylor December 2013: Gingerbread Hearts--by Alison Grey , et al ***2014*** January 2014: The Glass Lake--by Maeve Binchy February 2014: The Valley of Amazement--by Amy Tan March 2014: The Happiness Project--by Gretchin Rubin April 2014: Sing You Home--by Jodi Picoult May 2014: Of Mice and Men--by John Steinbeck June 2014: Skin:Talking About Sex, Class & Literature-by Dorothy Allison July 2014: The House of Impossible Loves--by Cristina Lopez-Barnes September 2014: Good Omens--by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett October 2014: We Are Water--by Wally Lamb November 2014: The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse-by M.

The goal is to provide valuable information and connections that may alleviate some of the challenges we are facing with isolation, lack of social time, mood, lack of purpose, and possible financial issues. ***We have changed the name of this MeetUp group*** to offer more selection to a broader audience and will still have MeetUps that address anxiety and feeling stuck. This is a space for you to meet others and feel a sense of community, which is important for your health and happiness, even if it means just logging in and listening for a while. Some meetings may include **interviews with pros** to give you new insights and answers to your burning questions.  Please let us know if you have any **suggestions for topics or guest speakers**, and which type of MeetUp interests you so we can put it on our schedule.    **If you are an expert** and want to be a guest at one of our events, please contact Daz, the moderator. **If being in SOCIAL SITUATIONS is challenging for you**, what you learn or those you connect with might change your life! Be comfortable in knowing that you will be encouraged to engage with others only at the level that you choose, so please show up and know it's OK to stay muted with your camera off and decline to engage in break-out rooms, which happens only at some MeetUp events.  We hold our Meetups at various times of the day, including some weekends. It's OK to log on late or sign off early. It will be good to have you attend for any amount of time.  At the end of our MeetUp, you will likely be equipped with more direct access to your own inner resources, find options to support you in taking the next steps for whatever challenges you are having, and perhaps find an empathy or accountability partner. You may even feel a little lighter! **Your host is me, Daz (Donna) Jacoby. I love bringing people together!**   I call myself a problem solver and happiness maker. I am a biofeedback trainer, and business coach, and now aditionally owner of a marketing agency, living near Santa Cruz, CA, who has worked for over 20 years with clients to improve their lives and health, mostly with a focus on anxiety management using biofeedback and neurofeedback in conjunction with an effective life-coaching program. I have been an entrepreneur for most of my adult life (and raised by entrepreneurs), with experience in a variety of fields, so I can bring insight and resources to those who need a boost in their business, or want to create a new business, including part-time side-hustles. I love creating strategies and systems and feel blessed with my intuitive qualities which help to guide my life.     Since business coaching, biofeedback and anxiety management are my specialties, some meetings will include the science and psychology that enlightens you and introduce resources such as apps, techniques, and introductions to biofeedback for home use that may help alleviate chronic issues. This is not therapy. Rather, it is a mindset and physiology shift that supports you in making dramatic changes. There is hope for overcoming so many challenges! I see it consistently in the lives of my clients. In the not-too-distant future, I will start a test group with veterans who have PTSD. If you are interested in volunteering to get the group going, or donating, please let me know. **I look forward to seeing you!** If you can't attend, please contact me if you want to know more about what you missed or the schedule for future MeetUps.
