DEAFinitely Readers

​

Online ASL Book Club

 

DEAFinitely Readers , is online ASL Book Club is on Fable and Discord that has book chats discussing the current books they have read, along with a monthly book. You can join the book club either by going to Fable or Discord. Chapter discussions typically happen in Discord and every Wednesday night on TikTok, there is a live discussion for the chapters of the week. At the end of the month, we use Discord to try to do a group video call so that we can see everyone in person to discuss the book in ASL.

 

DEAFinitely Readers is focused on reading books that:

• have d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing main characters (FMC or MMC) and/or side characters that have prominent roles

• are written by d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing authors Interested in joining the book club

​

The majority of the books will be chosen from the D/HH Book List. If you have any book recommendations, contact us! We are always adding books to the list.

​

If you are an author who has a book with Deaf and/or Hard-of-Hearing characters, and would like to either have your book added to the list or have the club read your book, please contact K.T. James.

 

DEAFinitely Readers is hosted by K.T. James and co-hosted by Desiree from "A DEAFinitely Novel Life".

 

In the video live re-caps (can view below), K.T. James is simcomming (signing ASL and speaking English simultaneously) as well as voice interpreting for Desiree, who is Deaf and using only ASL. K.T. James is hard-of-hearing. Both have hearing aids.
