Book Swap

Azathoth opętał nasz spejs - dziwne koszmary, przerywające Wi-Fi i te sprawy. Teraz musimy tworzyć melodie chwalące tego przedwiecznego boga, by nie oszaleć (co najmniej nie bardziej niż zwykle). Spotkanie dla wszystkich zainteresowanych muzyką i tworzeniem muzyki (jakiejkolwiek). Przewidziane jest wymienianie się wiedzą i doświadczeniami oraz wspólne/indywidualne eksperymenty. Nie jest wymagana żadna wiedza z zakresu muzyki - organizatorzy też nic nie wiedzą i dopiero zaczynają. Przynieście własne instrumenty i/lub laptopy. Jeżeli masz problem z wejściem, zadzwoń na 42-203-20-50 albo wejdź na naszego czata (patrz poniżej). Numer domofonu to 100. Potrzebujesz więcej informacji? Skontaktuj się z nami na czacie lub mailowo. Szczegóły znajdziesz tutaj: [https://lodz.hackerspace.pl/](https://lodz.hackerspace.pl/) Więcej szczegółów uzgodnimy na naszym chacie Matixowym: [https://matrix.to/#/#hs-ldz:hackerspace.pl](https://matrix.to/#/#hs-ldz:hackerspace.pl) lub Telegramowym: [https://t.me/hakierspejs](https://t.me/hakierspejs)

Zapraszamy na kolejne spotkanie planszówkowe! Mamy parę gier w spejsie, ale zachęcam przynieść również własne gry! Chętnie zagramy w coś nowego. Jest też miejsce na zostawienie gier na jakiś czas w spejsie, żeby nie musieć ich targać tutaj co tydzień. \-\-\- Zaczynamy o 19:00, ale warto sprawdzić [https://at.hs-ldz.pl](https://at.hs-ldz.pl) – być może ktoś otworzy siedzibę wcześniej.

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! 📖

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.

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.
