ABOUT THE BOOK 
An interior designer who is never without the perfect plan learns to renovate her love life without one in this new romantic comedy by Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care. 
Ever since she broke up with her fiance a year ago, she's been focused on her career. So when Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inn's renovation, which will be featured on a hugely popular home makeover show, Astrid is thrilled. Not only will the project distract her from her failed engagement and help her struggling business, but her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her a nod of approval.

However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, Pru's granddaughter and the lead carpenter for the renovation, who despises every modern design decision Astrid makes. Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her family's inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles. When that determination turns into some light sabotage to ruffle Astrid's perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension.

But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other evolves into something quite different, and Astrid must decide what success truly means.
Both of the books in this series are available at the Uppsala Library, and in many stores online.

BEFORE THE MEETING
Before the meeting, you are welcome to think about questions / interesting things that you thought about when reading to bring up for discussion. The idea is to explore lesbianism as a literary theme. Then, easy-going unpretentious book-talk will follow!

WHERE?
We will meet at Café Linne Hörnan (OBS! It is easy to get mixed up with Café Linné which is across the street, but it is at “Hörnan” that we will meet). There is a ramp for wheelchairs and the like, we want to make our events as accessible as possible, if you have any special needs or questions regarding availability just leave a message!
Whoever comes first takes a table and put up a post in the event so that we´ll find each other. If you can´t find us just write on the page, one of us will keep an eye on inbox!

FOR WHOM?
Anyone who identifies as a lesbian or is interested in lesbianism is very welcome! (You who identify yourself as, for example, queer or bi are of course welcome). As the book is available in English this time, we will also have the actual meeting in English.

ABOUT THE BOOK CLUB
The book club is arranged by Lesbiskt Rum Uppsala. The name Lesbisk Litterär Salong is a wink to the salons that were held by lesbians during the 20th century and were a place for conversation and exchange of thoughts. We meet about every sixth week and read a book with a lesbian theme. The next book is always decided at the end of each meeting by the participants, but if you can´t come and want to suggest a book, just leave a suggestion on the page!
