📚✨ Join us for our next book club meetup on August 16th at 17h (5pm), where we’ll immerse ourselves in the hauntingly beautiful world of 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Enter the magical, mythical town of Macondo as we explore the multi-generational saga of the Buendía family in Márquez’s iconic work of magical realism. ✨🌳

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 This sweeping narrative blends the political and the personal, the mystical and the mundane. We’ll unravel the themes of time, memory, fate, and solitude while navigating the surreal beauty of Márquez’s prose. Whether it’s your first read or your fifth, this book offers endless layers to explore and discuss. 🌀📖

📚 Book Club Prep:
Whether you’re an ear reader (audiobooks 🎧), an eye reader (e-reader, phone, or digital copy 📱), or you love the feel of a physical book 📖—you’re welcome here!

📆 Grab your copy*, meet us on August 16th @ 17h, and let’s experience the unforgettable journey within 100 Years of Solitude together!

*We encourage you to support local bookstores and libraries when possible. And don’t forget: someone in the group often has a physical copy they’re happy to lend once they’ve finished—so check in the WhatsApp group if you’re in need!

Agenda:
🕰️ Arrive a few minutes early to grab a coffee or snack from one of the many cafes and restaurants nearby (if budget and dietary restrictions allow).

👥 Gather as a large group for introductions, then break into smaller discussion groups for more personal conversations about the book.

📖 Book Discussion: Share your emotions, thoughts, and reflections on the story. SPOILERS WILL OCCUR—if you haven’t finished, no worries, just a heads-up!

🔄 Regroup to exchange key takeaways and insights from each group.

🍝 Optional dinner afterward at the Italian place upstairs—friends, partners, and loved ones are welcome to join! (RSVP IN WHATSAPP GROUP BY THURSDAY PRIOR)

Looking forward to a heartfelt, reflective, and enriching evening!
