Fantasy Book Club: Grimm's Fairy Tales

Join us for our next book club meeting at Bank Square Coffeehouse in Beacon! If the weather permits, we'll be meeting in the outside area.

We will be reading and discussing a selection of stories from Grimm's Fairy Tales. Please choose any translation you like (if you need a rec Jack Zipes is a good one) and read as many of the below stories as you'd like to discuss:

Below is the list of stories:

Bluebeard
Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty)
Cinderella (Aschenputtel)
Clever Hans
Godfather Death
Hansel and Gretel
Little Red Cap (Little Red Riding Hood)
Rapunzel
Rumpelstiltskin (Rumpelstilzchen)
Snow White
The Frog King, or Iron Heinrich (The Frog Prince)
The Juniper Tree
The Six Swans

Everyone is also encouraged to choose one additional story at random and share a summary with the group.

New members are welcome!

When joining, we do ask that everyone please make a purchase at the venue, so we can support our local businesses and have them happy for us to return. :-)

MORE ABOUT OUR CLUB:

If you're looking for a place to read (or re-read!) and discuss fantasy and/or mythology books, you've come to the right place! We read a mix of popular fantasy, romantasy, mythology, and older literature with fantasy elements. From ancient Greek tragedies to Legends & Lattes.

This is a 21+ (we read books with adult themes and sometimes meet in bars) LGBT+ friendly book club. We don't exclusively read queer books, and you don't need to be queer to join, but you MUST be an ally comfortable reading books where queer themes, characters, and relationships are present either in the background or in a central capacity.

We also have a Discord for continued discussions and easier book voting. After attending an in-person event you'll be given an invitation to the Discord via message on Meetup. :-)
