Board Game Night (Zippererstrasse U3)
Please read everything 🙏 Hello and welcome to our event 🙂 This meeting is part of regular meetings organized by (Board-games-in-Vienna) every Tuesday and Friday at 06:00 PM Let's set a few points first: ● The language of this meeting is English! ● Please come on time otherwise you have to wait ! ● Call this number if you can't find us: +436767401074 (also WhatsApp) The event: 🎲 If you're a fan of playing board games that takes about 60-90 minutes, this meeting is for you 🙂 **We also play shorter games sometimes.** Examples for what kind of games we play : Brass Birmingham, Terraforming Mars, Viticulture essential edition, Architects of the West Kingdom, Concordia, and many other new games. All the mentioned games are just examples, and we're not necessarily going to play the exact games. The system: 📒 You can join us to play a game with someone, or/and you're also welcome to bring and explain your games to the others. Feel free to ask for any game available in our collection (the link below) we will provide it for you and help with the rules based on availability https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/Aymantaha?own=1&subtype=boardgame&ff=1 The location: 📍 Simmeringer Hauptstrass 36/Siege 15 **(Zippererstrasse U3)** 1110 Wien https://maps.app.goo.gl/ptMbnWweFVPd8saZ7 We will be playing in the common room at my building (a room with many tables and good lighting), so feel free to bring any drinks or snacks for yourself. The cost: 💰 **A contribution of €1 per player** will be collected to cover the room cost and maintenance for the event, but on the bright side, you get to bring your food and drinks with you, and this is by far cheaper than going to a free event but still need to order something at the coffee shop 🙃 Please only sign up if you attend to come and play.

Social Book Club: Christmas Edition 📚 🎄
Welcome Book Lovers! Join our Meet Up Group to find like-minded book readers! This book club event will be a special **Christmas edition**, so that you're encouraged to dress up in a Christmas-themed way! Otherwise it will proceed as a normal Social Book Club event. This event is for everybody interested in listening or sharing new book content or comment on it. You are welcome just to come for inspiration. You definitely don't need to read books at the moment. It is a gathering for everybody to find like-minded people interested in learning something new. :) Feel free to bring your own book with you. The event will take place at the volunteer organisation MUT. It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna. I am happy to host it there. MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event. If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you. This is the address: Rechte Wienzeile 37, 1040 Wien Walk until the end of the main entrance hall. At the end of the hallway you find a big green gate with a sign of the Social Book Club. Please give your best to be on time so that we can have a nice introduction round together. If you can't attend anymore please cancel the event to give someone else the space to come. :) For any questions or comments give me a message. Check out the Social Book Club Website for more content: https://socialbookclub.de/ Looking forward to seeing you there! :)

December Book Club/White Elephant Book Exchange
December Book Club/White Elephant Book Exchange
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! 📖
The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
I don't usually pick romance but I really wanted to do a Hanukkah book. It's a bit on the longer side but hopefully a quick read. The library only has 5 audiobooks so please try to remember to "release it" when you're done. Columbus libraries: [https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3503238](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3503238) Location: The Goat Riversouth [219 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215](https://www.google.com/maps?q=219%20South%20High%20Street%2C%20Columbus%2C%20Ohio%2043215%2C%20United%20States) [Menu](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/686d3ed16745133042482c5f/t/68ff654dbb03b96875430bde/1761568077220/all_brunch-20250311.pdf) Book summary: Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt is a nice Jewish girl with a shameful secret: she loves Christmas. For a decade she’s hidden her career as a Christmas romance novelist from her family. Her talent has made her a bestseller even as her chronic illness has always kept the kind of love she writes about out of reach. But when her diversity-conscious publisher insists she write a Hanukkah romance, her well of inspiration suddenly runs dry. Hanukkah’s not magical. It’s not merry. It’s not *Christmas*. Desperate not to lose her contract, Rachel’s determined to find her muse at the Matzah Ball, a Jewish music celebration on the last night of Hanukkah, even if it means working with her summer camp archenemy—Jacob Greenberg. Though Rachel and Jacob haven’t seen each other since they were kids, their grudge still glows brighter than a menorah. But as they spend more time together, Rachel finds herself drawn to Hanukkah—and Jacob—in a way she never expected. Maybe this holiday of lights will be the spark she needed to set her heart ablaze.
