Book Drives Barcelona
Connect over books in Barcelona!

Cozy Tuesday Book Club
Tue, May 26, 4:30 PM**Welcome to the first meeting of our cozy book club!** 📚☕ The idea is simple: we’ll pick a book together, read it at our own pace until the next meeting, and discuss it when we meet again. I created this club so we can discover new authors and genres together, connect with like-minded people, and enjoy a good cup of coffee, tea, or whatever drink you prefer. Feel free to bring book suggestions — these can be specific titles, authors, or even themes such as *modern Japanese literature*. As a small book club, we’re open to variety. If you don’t have a clear idea yet, don’t worry — I’ll come prepared with a list of suggestions. **Note:** These meetings are free and will always be. **About me**: I'm former Reuters journalist and creative storyteller. When I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably hiking somewhere. I moved to Barcelona from Gdańsk two years ago and would love to connect with fellow book lovers here.

Coffee Connections
Fri, May 15, 9:00 AMA 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).

Una vez al mes nos reuniremos para comentar y leer en voz alta los poemas del libro escogido para cada sesión. El tercer libro seleccionado es 'Río herido' de @cerquitadelasnubes, editado por @estonoesberlin. 🏞️ Acerca del libro: Con 'Río herido' (2016), el primer libro de Daniela Catrileo, la autora inauguró una voz marcada por la memoria, el territorio y la identidad. Posteriormente publicó 'Guerra florida' (2018), reconocido con el Premio Municipal de Literatura de Santiago, y la novela 'Piñen' (2019), distinguida por el Ministerio de las Culturas como Mejor Obra Literaria de su país. 'Chilco' (2023) consolidó su proyección dentro de la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea y ha sido traducida a varios idiomas. ¡Les esperamos! 🌸
