### "Books & Breakfast" zu "Die Assistentin" von Caroline Wahl ### Unser Vormittagsformat, für dich, wenn du gerne liest und Lust auf Gespräche über Bücher in entspannter Atmosphäre hast. Mehr ein ***bookish coffee date*** als ein anstrengendes Literaturseminar. 📚 ☕ 🗓️ **Datum & Uhrzeit:** Freitag, der 10. April um 10:30 Uhr 📍 **Location:** Nude - Wasserwerkstrasse 127A, 8037 Zürich (befindet sich im Tanzhaus Zürich) https://maps.app.goo.gl/4jyh5Z55Vjqhq9UMA **Was dich erwartet:** * Beim nächsten Treffen sprechen wir über ***"Die Assistentin" von Caroline Wahl*** * Gespräch und Diskussion über das Buch * Raum für persönliche Eindrücke & Assoziationen * eine kleine, angenehme Runde in den schönsten Cafés Zürichs. **Für wen:** Für alle, die einfach gerne lesen und Lust am Austausch mit anderen *bookish people* haben. (Introverts are more than welcome.) Wir sprechen vorwiegend Deutsch, wenn du Englisch sprichst und schon etwas Deutschkenntnisse hast, bist du natürlich auch herzlich willkommen. Das Buch vorher zu lesen ist willkommen, aber kein Muss. Neugier reicht vollkommen. **Teilnahme & Verbindlichkeit** 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**. **Kurzfristige Absagen oder Nichterscheinen** nehmen anderen den Platz und widersprechen dem **respektvollen Miteinander,** das diesen Buchclub trägt. Danke dir für dein Verständnis und Mittragen dieser Haltung. Wenn dich das anspricht, freue ich mich, dich beim nächsten **Books & Breakfast** zu sehen. ***

A casual meet-up to get to know people from / around Zurich over a cup of coffee. Main intention is to be less of a hello-goodbye event, but more to be able to "hang out" and get to know each other in some kind of a hide-out location where you can be sure of a seat: a third place besides home and work, where some distance can be taken from the daily hassles: an a\*\*-hole free zone. Yes, there is a bit of a format that could be used (see below), although we're not going to "nanny" the whole event: just like in a Swiss association or "Verein": it's up to you to make it a success! \- walk\-in/socialising \- round of introduction \- subject to talk about \- hanging out \- dinner \(if I make an exception of eating after 17:00\!\) Location will be revealed in due time (please check your messages to confirm, etc.!). If that doesn't work, please write a message in this event, so I can see you're interested! Hope to see you soon! Matthew

As adults, meeting new people isn’t as easy as it used to be.

That’s where our Fast Friending Evening comes in. It’s all about genuine, in-person connections with like-minded ladies and gents in the city. Just show up, be yourself, and enjoy an evening of effortless conversations and meaningful new connections. **You will need to buy a ticket for attending -** [https://zurich11thapril.eventbrite.co.uk](https://zurich11thapril.eventbrite.co.uk) \*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout.
