Q's about the book club?

How do I join Pep & Hugh's Queer History 101? What does it cost?

To join the club, simply subscribe on our website. Perks include a complimentary Allstora membership, exclusive interviews, and limited-edition collectibles, with more exciting things to come!

Is there a reading schedule?

This is a read-at-your-own-pace book club! Since there are thousands of folks in our clubs with different reading speeds and schedules, we want to take the pressure off--reading is FUN(damental). Once you finish the book, whether that’s in four days or four weeks, you can join the discussion in our exclusive online portal.

I can cancel my Book Club subscription anytime… right?

Yes! However, if you’d like to continue getting 30% off all books on our site, you’ll have to sign up for an Allstora membership separately.

When will I be billed for my subscription?

For book club subscriptions, you will be billed on a monthly basis on the 15th of each month, regardless of the date you first subscribe.

When will you announce the next month’s book selection? What if I’m not feeling that month’s selection?

We will announce each month’s selection on the 15th of the prior month. If you're not interested in a particular month's book selection, you have the option to skip that month's shipment and receive a gift card for the equivalent amount. If you'd like to opt for the gift card, you have until the 17th to let us know.

What if I’m already an Allstora Member?

When you sign up for a Book Club subscription, our system will automatically cancel your membership, so you aren’t paying double! Membership is a complimentary perk of any Book Club subscription.

Is this a new club?

Back when we were ShopQueer.co, Queer History 101 was our original book club subscription! We're so excited to be relaunching this club with extra perks for our Allstora family.
