Considering the scorching weather, let’s meet around a lighter theme for our next book club session.
You’ve probably, at some point, picked up a book solely because of its cover — only to end up deeply (or at least mildly) disappointed. This time, we’d love to explore those experiences and hear what you initially expected when buying the book.
We believe this will bring a diverse and fun mix of stories, so we’re looking forward to all kinds of genres and surprises.
If you’re struggling to think of a book that fits this theme, feel free to bring the opposite: a great novel with a terrible cover. You can even take inspiration from this month’s group photo!
Theme: Grabbed by the Cover: The Superficial Beauty (or Ugliness) of Books
Date: July 19th
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Look.Sharp Café, Rua de Cimo de Vila 41, Porto
Please confirm your attendance through the Meetup app, and come ready with your book and thoughts.
We look forward to seeing you there,
Ron and Bruno
P.S. As we mentioned last time, we’re trying out a small RSVP fee. If you’ve already attended one of our book club meetings, feel free to skip it and just show up. The idea is mainly to reduce no-shows from first-time sign-ups and to help cover our annual Meetup fees.
P.P.S. I've removed the payment necessity as it introduced too much hassle to our existing members and will come up with a different solution soon. Sorry for the hassle.
