?Here is our Wastapp chat where we discuss our book choices and all things books: https://chat.whatsapp.com/G8WAtpz24fC91ABLktsuEu
? Please respond as "going" if you are planning to come so I know how many seats to book.
?‍?WHAT TO BRING: yourself!
￼?WHEN: Friday, January 30th, from 18.00 to 20.00 (Helsinki time)
?WHERE: Levant Bulevardi

? For those of us who are shy / feel like it's too much of commitment / or takes too much time: please know that this book club is very chill! We thrive to create a community built on inclusivity, curiosity, respect, and open discussion. You don’t have to commit to coming every time, or read the whole book, or read the book at all. The main idea is to meet at a nice place, enjoy food and drinks and talk books (and anything and everything else!)

?This is a womxn only event, please leave the boys at home ?‍♀️
