J.Q. Gagliastro Meets the Queer Book Club of the Purple Couch Bookshop

August 6th, 2025

Thank you so much, Colby Daniel, for orchestrating the event. Thank you, Ford & Petal, for the lovely flower arrangement. It emulates TDS beautifully and is currently perched on my top shelf! Thank you to all the Queer Book Club members for asking thoughtful, respectful, and insightful questions. Thank you to those who shared personal stories, kept an open mind, and partook in literary albeit vulnerable discussions. I felt a deep sense of connection during our time together—something that most would consider simple but is nevertheless quit hard to come by. I’m happy and grateful to have been so welcomed into your circle. Finally, thank you to the Purple Couch Bookshop for hosting us. I hope to see you all again soon!
