I LOVE me a tight arse Tuesday in this economy,😏 so I’ve picked the first Tuesday in May for a group cinema hang to see The Devil Wears Prada 2 🎬 Because honestly… who doesn’t want to watch Meryl Streep at her withering, iconic best as Miranda Priestly (aka Anna Wintour) on the big screen again? If you’re keen for a midweek outing, a few laughs, and some seriously savage fashion energy — come join us. Cheap tickets, good company, unallocated seating and a little dose of fabulous. This movie session runs from 6pm to 8:22pm so I'm going to get there around 5:45 to greet everyone in the hope we can all sit together as seating is unallocated. If this time frame works from you, click on this link to book tickets- https://www.lidocinemas.com.au/tickets?c=0000000003&s=103435 And for those who love to nosh and debrief films afterwards, there is a sweet Japanese spot just metres from the cinema — Zen Japanese Restaurant 🍜 https://sites.google.com/view/zenjp/home Let me know if you're keen to kick on to dinner and I'll book in advance.

**Learn why quitting might be your smartest strategy with our May book club pick** Our May book club challenges everything you've been told about perseverance. Former professional poker player and decision strategist Annie Duke makes a compelling case that knowing when to quit—jobs, projects, relationships, strategies—is one of the most valuable skills you can develop, yet it's one we're culturally conditioned to ignore. **About the book** In this book, Duke dismantles the myth that "winners never quit" and reveals how our fear of quitting costs us time, money, and happiness. Drawing on cognitive science, behavioral economics, and her own experience at high-stakes poker tables, she explains why we cling to losing strategies and provides frameworks for recognizing when it's time to walk away. Quitting isn't about giving up—it's about freeing up resources for better opportunities. **What you'll gain** * A new perspective on quitting as a strategic skill rather than a character flaw * Practical decision-making tools to help you identify when to persist and when to pivot * Insights into the psychological traps that keep us stuck in dead-end situations, and how to overcome them to make smarter choices about where to invest your energy Purchase links: [[Quit: The Power Of Knowing When To Walk Away](https://www.thenile.com.au/books/annie-duke/quit/9781529146165?gad_campaignid=17335838322&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADhOHwgQG1DMqKNzRWgnd6TRIp3BD&gclid=CjwKCAiAkbbMBhB2EiwANbxtbY1gzuRVdNQwAjuwcgN0F6tr-bQ4-nv2GQ80QuJnwYuho5Mah0ehbhoCdUIQAvD_BwE&utm_campaign=18141173729&utm_content=&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_term=)] **Please note that this is a paid event to help cover the cost of meetup fees.

**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens** **This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.** Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared. Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*
