Book club ready
Fable moderator Marissa (@marissasbooks_ on TikTok) gushed over the perfection of McQuiston's books and chose a McQuiston book as an early read for her club.Marissa founded Mar's Diverse Book Club to promote diversity in reading."I think it is always very important to read POC and lgbtq+ books," she explained in an interview with Fable. "Diversity in literature helps in so many ways. It helps people feel seen as who they are and, in turn, helps others to understand experiences that they might not have."
Marissa added that when we limit what kinds of books we read, we are missing out on important voices. "If we only ever read books of straight, white, cis-gender people, we are almost erasing so many diverse groups whose voices also deserve to be heard. Representation can show people that 'Hey, it's possible to be gay, trans, etc., and that's okay.' I think that's a very important thing."Marissa also explained why McQuiston's work has touched so many readers."Casey McQuiston is truly my favorite author," Mar told us. "Their first book, 'Red, White & Royal Blue,' helped me in a rough time, and it is still one of my favorite books to this day. I have read all of their books, so naturally, I had been anticipating 'I Kissed Shara Wheeler' ever since it was announced. I knew it would have great diversity (as all her books do), and everyone else in the book club could all share our thoughts at the same time.""I really do think everyone should read Casey’s works. They are unapologetically queer books written by a queer author and the best way I can describe them is that they feel like home. "
Lesbian, Trans, Gay, Bi, Non-binary, the list goes on and on. Casey’s books describe very well the experience of being a queer person," she concluded. "I feel like they could also help people who don’t quite understand LGBTQ+ identities, understand a little more."Join Mar's Diverse Book Club to read books promoting diversity, POC, and LGBTQ+ stories today!
