Hello everyone, For this session, we will be wrapping up our discussion of **10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in This Strange World** by **Elif Shafak**. The second half of the book focuses on what happens to Leila's body after she has been found dead. We will be following her friends as they advocate for her. Will Leila find peace in death after such a tumultuous life? Will her friends find justice for her despite all the odds? Let's find out together! I expect you to have **finished the entire novel before our session**. I look forward to seeing you all. Take care, and have fun!

في خريف النبلاء يفتح لنا الكاتب سعود الشعلان نافذة على خريفٍ مررنا به جميعًا… تلك المرحلة التي تعيد تشكيل ملامح علاقاتنا، وتكشف لنا وجوهًا لم نكن نراها، وحقائق لم نكن جاهزين لها. هناك، حيث لا تعود السعادة شرطًا، بل يغدو الرضا هو النجاة الحقيقية. أربعة أشخاص، كلٌّ منهم كان طوقًا للآخر في فوضى الحياة… ورغم أن الطريق لم يكن جميلًا ولا سهلًا، إلا أنه كان مليئًا بما يستحق أن يُروى. الرواية لا تقدّم أحداثًا فقط، بل رحلة عميقة إلى داخلنا: إلى هشاشتنا، وإلى القوة التي نكتشفها حين نصل إلى خريفنا الخاص. 📍🔗 انضموا إلينا كونوا جزءًا من لقاء أدبي مختلف، نغوص فيه بين صفحات الرواية، ونفتح نقاشًا يلامس التجربة الإنسانية بكل تقلباتها. سجّل الآن وامنح نفسك فرصة لرؤية الرواية… وربما الحياة نفسها… من زاوية جديدة تمامًا

Welcome, readers! ❄️ Our December read is **_A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella._** A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella is a tender, character-driven novel that follows three people in a small Pennsylvania town as they each cope with loss and seek connection. Chuck, a widower, struggles to find meaning after his wife’s death; Ella, a young woman, faces the heartbreak of her missing daughter; and Kirsten, a veterinary technician, grieves her father while contemplating her future. Their stories intertwine gently, revealing how grief and hope coexist—and how even small acts of kindness can help people rediscover purpose and peace in the aftermath of tragedy. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! At this meeting, our third annual White Elephant book exchange will take place! If you'd like to participate, bring a gift-wrapped book that you already own. On the gift wrap, write the genre of the book. We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

Join us for Slow Horses and a Book Exchange! In addition to our usual chat about the book, we’ll be exchanging books. Bring two books you’re willing to part with and we’ll exhange books. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Welcome to the thrilling and unnervingly prescient world of the slow horses. This team of MI5 agents is united by one common bond: They've screwed up royally and will do anything to redeem themselves. This special tenth-anniversary deluxe edition of a modern classic includes a foreword by the author, discussion questions for book clubs, and an exclusive short story featuring the slow horses. London, England: Slough House is where washed-up MI5 spies go to while away what's left of their failed careers. The "slow horses," as they're called, have all disgraced themselves in some way to get relegated there. Maybe they botched an Op so badly they can't be trusted anymore. Maybe they got in the way of an ambitious colleague and had the rug yanked out from under them. Maybe they just got too dependent on the bottle-not unusual in this line of work. One thing they have in common, though, is they want to be back in the action. And most of them would do anything to get there-even if it means having to collaborate with one another. When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast his beheading live on the Internet, the slow horses see an opportunity to redeem themselves. But is the victim really who he appears to be?
