**Poorna Bell** talks about the big themes from her latest non-fiction book *She Wanted More*, which looks at a wide range of issues from relationships to ageing, success to sex, adventure to autonomy, across a sub-section of women in their 40s, 50s and 60s who are redefining life according to their goals, not other people's expectations. It is for anyone of any age, however! She will be joined in conversation by author and journalist Priya Joi. *About the author* **Poorna Bell** is an award-winning journalist and author, having working in journalism for 23+ years and having published 6 books. Her third non-fiction book Stronger won a Sunday Times Sports Book award. *About the book* ***[She wanted more](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/she-wanted-more/)*** The new book for women who want to live differently - featuring interviews with fascinating, inspirational women from all walks of life When Poorna Bell found herself at the height of grief in her mid-thirties, she spent each day just trying to survive. As her new self began to emerge back into the world, she realised she had spent a lifetime playing by the rules that had been set for women. But who set these rules? And why? In her powerful, inspirational new book, Poorna Bell asks you to reimagine your future. To know that you can write your own story - to find the confidence to live exactly as you want to, and reclaim your joy. To discover that if you want more, you can get it. Join Poorna as she paves the way for a new future, including interviews with Marian Keyes, Asma Khan, Hollie McNish, Mariella Frostrup, Heidi Clements, Luisa Dunn, Cindy Gallop, Seema Anand, Catherine Gray, Sam Baker, Jennifer Cox and more.

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

What happens when a room full of strangers bring their worst dating disasters, career mistakes, and life dilemmas - and a comedian has to fix them live on stage?
 That's Dear Josh.
 No script. No rehearsal. You submit your real problem. Josh and a panel of Barcelona's funniest comedians solve it live - and the whole room watches.
 Here's how it works: Before the show, you submit your problem - dating, career, bad decisions, moral dilemmas, whatever's keeping you up at night. Josh picks the best ones and works through them live on stage with his panel. Some nights you'll cry laughing. Some nights you'll genuinely walk away with clarity. Most nights, both.
 Every show is completely one-of-a-kind because the audience writes it.
 Why people come: * You've watched Josh give advice online. Now watch him do it live - with no filter and a microphone. * It's a comedy show, a social experiment, and a night out you'll actually remember. * Whether you come with friends or by yourself, you're leaving with a story. **ABOUT THE HOST** Josh Otusanya is a stand-up comedian and content creator with 11 million followers across social media and hundreds of millions of views online. Known for turning real human experiences into sharp, funny, and surprisingly useful content - he's now bringing that energy from the internet to the stage here in Barcelona. 
Josh has previously performed at sold-out shows internationally. 📅 Friday April 24th - 8:30PM
📍 La Off Barcelona
