**Für wen:**
Für alle, die einfach gerne lesen und Lust am Austausch mit anderen *bookish people* haben. (Introverts are more than welcome.)
**Teilnahme und Verbindlichkeit:**
Ihr Lieben, No-Shows sind No-Gos. Ein wertschätzender Umgang zeigt sich auch darin, verbindlich zu- oder rechtzeitig abzusagen – wir begegnen uns hier als **echte Menschen** in einem kleinen, persönlichen Rahmen, eben **nicht anonym.**
**Absagen in letzter Minute oder Nichterscheinen** nehmen anderen den Platz und widersprechen dem respektvollen Miteinander, das diesen Buchclub trägt.
Für dieses Treffen wird ein symbolischer Ticketpreis von **30 CHF** erhoben.
Mit deinem Ticket sicherst du dir verbindlich deinen Platz. **Zahlbar via Paypal oder TWINT**. Für letzteres kannst du meine Natelnummer via DM erhalten.

Ich freue mich auf neue und bekannte Gesichter,

"The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde
**This month - a play!**
Oscar Wilde's madcap farce about mistaken identities, secret engagements, and lovers entanglements still delights readers more than a century after its 1895 publication and premiere performance. The rapid-fire wit and eccentric characters of The Importance of Being Earnest have made it a mainstay of the high school curriculum for decades.

You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat

Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

Bad Girls Book Club May 2026
**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens**
**This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.**
Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared.
Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*
May Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our May read is **_Kindred_ by Octavia E. Butler.**
The story follows Dana, a Black woman living in 1976 California, who is suddenly pulled back to a Maryland plantation before the Civil War. She learns her survival is tied to a white slaveholder’s son. Forced to move between centuries, she must endure the brutal realities of slavery while fighting to hold on to her identity. Tense, intimate, and unforgettable, Kindred explores how the past refuses to stay buried.
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! 📖
