Coffee Connections
A 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).
Lola's club: Orbital
🍓 Lola's Club. Ciclo de literatura inglesa 🍓
Con esta actividad queremos discutir algunos textos provenientes de la literatura anglosajona. Continuamos el ciclo con 'Orbital' de Samantha Harvey, editado por [@anagramaeditor](https://www.instagram.com/anagramaeditor/).
Acerca del libro:
'Orbital' es un viaje a los límites de nuestras certezas, un relato sobre el vértigo que produce la confrontación con un vacío cósmico y una transformación existencial: íntima, pero también de un alcance universal, el que nos habla de lo que somos y creemos ser como especie.
🍓 El club estará dinamizado por nuestra querida Lola Raventós, quien fue profesora de inglés en la Escola Oficial d'Idiomes. 🍓
¡Les esperamos! ☺️

Bad Girls Book Club February 2026
**Our February novel is: Julia by Sandra Newman**
**This month is a classic, dystopian, fiction, literary fiction, women’s fiction, and science fiction novel. The book is 394 pages in print and 14 hours and 20 minutes on audiobook.**
**An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell’s 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman.**
Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell’s 1984.
All her life, Julia has known only Oceania, and, until she meets Winston Smith, she has never imagined anything else. She is an ideal citizen: cheerfully cynical, always ready with a bribe, piously repeating every political slogan while believing in nothing. She routinely breaks the rules, but also collaborates with the regime when necessary. Everyone likes Julia.
Then one day she finds herself walking toward Winston Smith in a corridor and impulsively slips him a note, setting in motion the devastating, unforgettable events of the classic story. Julia takes us on a surprising journey through Orwell’s now-iconic dystopia, with twists that reveal unexpected sides not only to Julia, but to other familiar figures in the 1984 universe. This unique perspective lays bare our own world in haunting and provocative ways, just as the original did almost seventy-five years ago.
Help me choose our next book club reads!
**I’m planning future book club meetups and would love your input. Please choose your top three from the list below—your picks will help decide what we read next!**
**Book Options**
*The Hong Kong Widow* – Kristen Loesch
*American Spy* – Lauren Wilkinson
*God of the Woods* – Liz Moore
*Listen for the Lie* – Amy Tintera
*The Swallows* – Lisa Lutz
*The Drowning Kind* – Jennifer McMahon
*The Eights* – Joanna Miller
*The Quiet Librarian* – Allen Eskens
Thanks so much for sharing your pick! Please **reply in the comments** with your top three. I can’t wait to see which books rise to the top and to discuss them together at our next meetups.
February Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our February read is **_1984 by George Orwell._**
In 1984, George Orwell imagines a world where the government watches everyone, rewrites reality, and punishes even private thoughts. Winston Smith dares to question this system, believing that truth and love might still exist. His rebellion draws him into a chilling struggle against a power that knows him better than he knows himself. The novel leaves readers asking whether freedom is possible when reality itself can be controlled.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
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! 📖
