Do you remember that feeling — when meeting people felt effortless? When conversations went deeper than small talk, and you actually wanted to stay a little longer? We’re creating that space again. This is a book club — but not the kind you’re used to. No long monologues. No pressure to sound smart. No awkward silence. Just people, ideas, and real conversations. ⸻ 📖 This edition’s book: Misery by Stephen King A modern bestseller exploring connection, timing, emotional intimacy, and the complexity of relationships. ⸻ Important We are not a traditional book club — so don’t worry if you haven’t read the book. We begin with a short and engaging presentation: you’ll get a clear overview of the story, characters, and key themes. After that, each guest receives: • a set of thoughtful, slightly provocative questions • a number for group rotation 💬 You’ll join a small group and spend ~20 minutes discussing deeper topics inspired by the book — not just what happened, but what it means. Then we switch groups. New people. New dynamics. New perspectives. ⸻ ✨ And then — the structure fades away. The rest of the evening is yours: • relaxed conversations • drinks • natural connections ⸻ This is not about literature. And not about dating either. It’s about how stories bring people together. ⸻ If you’re curious, open-minded, and enjoy meaningful conversations — you’ll feel at home here.

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. 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! 📖

**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\*\*.\*\*
