Gays Can Read: Books & Booze Happy Hour

Thu, Aug 6, 4:30 PM
From Gays Can Read: Barcelona

**Do you love reading? Would you like a drink? *Let’s do both!*** I bet you’ve read some *fabulous* books this summer. And as Gay Nerds, we *love* telling others about a 5-star find because we don’t gate-keep, especially when we have a cocktail (or soft drink) in hand! **So let’s grab drinks at LaCarra (C/d Muntaner 34), on 6 AUG at 18:30 (6:30pm) and share our favorite reads of the year so far!** We can get excited about mutual favorites, debate controversial picks, and walk away with a list of recommendations. Not bad for a Thursday night!

Sólo quien conozca las runas y recuerde los nombres verdaderos podrá aspirar a la victoria... y a los premios que aguardan más allá del Monte del Destino. * 📍 En Alibri * **Precio: 5.50 € ·** * **[➡️ ​RESERVA AQUÍ ⬅️​](https://www.alibri.cat/nonbook/la-tarda-de-la-companyia/1741000)** 💙 *Importante*: Confirmar tu asistencia en Meetup nos ayuda a organizar el grupo, pero **la plaza sólo queda reservada al comprar la entrada en la [web de Alibri](https://www.alibri.cat/nonbook/la-tarda-de-la-companyia/1741000)**.
