The Big Gay Book Club is a podcast for every reader out there, queer or otherwise! Every month two queer best friends, Amy and Chris, will dive into a curated selection of queer literature and give you their honest thoughts through their own unique perspectives. We will discuss the queer characters and themes present in these books, and the wonderful authors that have brought them to life. Come with us as we fill up our bookcases with the gayest books around and try our best to spread positivity and love for the books that are so vital to our LGBTQIA+ community.
Episodes will release the last Tuesday of every month. If you'd like to read along and join in on the discussion, make sure you listen to find out what book we're reading next. You can e-mail us at thebiggaybookclub@gmail.com or find us on Instagram @tbgbookclub. Happy reading!

After a six month hiatus, Amy and Chris are back and better than ever. Seeking a stripped down, more casual experience, your favorite hosts have simplified the pod and are here to bring you that ever so spicy Heated Rivalry commentary you crave. On this episode, they discuss Game Changer, book one of the Heated Rivalry series of HBO fame focusing on hockey all star Scott Hunter and his blueberry blending boyfriend, Kip Grady. Will the series make hockey fans out of these two, who've probably never set foot in a hockey stadium (rink? arena??) in their lives? You'll have to listen to find out.
Stay tuned for our next episode, which will feature what everyone's been waiting for. Amy and Chris read Heated Rivalry (book two of the best selling series).

Episode 32 - Carry On
This month your hosts, Amy and Chris, read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, the first book in the Simon Snow series, which follows the adventures of a magical young adult (Simon Snow), his whip smart best friend, his couldn’t-care-less (ex?) girlfriend, and his devious roommate who most certainly is a vampire (probably (I mean look at him)). Being the chosen one sucks, honestly, and Simon has had just about enough of that. This was a book that Amy and Chris both reread specifically so they can talk about it for the podcast, AND because they love it so dang much. Join them as they gush over their biggest ship of the season.

Episode 31 - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
This month your hosts, Amy and Chris, readThe Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. In this salacious historical fiction that dramatizes the life and exploits of starlet Evelyn Hugo, not all is as it may appear. A decidedly queer tale of love and heartbreak that you’re going to have to read to believe. Amy even says its one of her favorite books we’ve read so far. Listen in to find out why!
