To celebrate Pride Month, we're putting the spotlight on some brilliant queer literature, courtesy of the Queer Girls Book Club. Ayse Huseyin joins Sara for a chat about their group and shares with us her Top Five Reads Of The Year so far. We also sent the book club a copy of 'Ordinary Saints' by Niamh Ni Mhaoileoin (a previous choice of ours) and captured a little bit of their discussion. It turns out, they liked it just as much as we did!Here are Ayse's Top Five Reads of 2025 (so far) as discussed on the episode:In The Dream House by Carmen Maria MachadoHijab Butch Blues by Lamyah H How To Say Babylon by Safiya SinclairTwo Lives by Vikram SethFun Home by Alison Bechdel
