The "classic" bookswap is simple: * We meet in a café and put the book(s) we brought down on the tables. * We browse and discuss the books with one another while sipping coffee or hot chocolate, or eating cake. * We write our names down on any books we’d like to take home (post-its and pens provided). * At the end of the evening, negotiate any books that are contended and take a new-to-you book home! Books/happiness shared are books/happiness multiplied! A Bookswap is 10 times better than a Book Club because you can talk about ALL the books instead of just one! This is a great way to give your books a new home and make room for new books: that book you feel guilty for not having read even though it's been sitting on your bedside table for the last 5 years, the book you liked but didn't love, the book you loved so much you want everyone to read it, the book you somehow own three copies of, that book you absolutely hated even though everyone else loves it, and so on. Moreover, you will meet fellow readers, get a new book or two, and several book recommendations. We’ve often had readers experience books they wouldn't normally buy and enjoy it. GROUP EXPECTATIONS for PLEASANT SWAPPING * Please bring a book! It's not that you bring one you take one, but do try your best to bring something. * Books stay on the tables, open for sharing, until you are ready to leave so that everyone can have a look. We are notably not first come first serve. Please wait until you are leaving to bag the book. * If two or more people want the only copy of a book, negotiate. Maybe one of you reads it first and then gives it to the others. Or perhaps they have found another book instead. Or leave it to fate and toss a coin. The best part: now you have found somebody whose taste you can really admire. In any case, please don't walk away with a book with several names on it without letting the others know. These negotiations are fun and easy, so don't shy away from a book because there's already a name on it, and feel free to put your name on as many books as you find interesting. It's not that you bring one you take one; you may take as many as you can negotiate. * Political discussions with consent: make sure the people you are talking to would like to have a political discussion with you. * Please respect this space as first and foremost a community for connecting readers over their love of books and reading, stories, and narratives of all sorts. Please be respectful of tastes and opinions. * If something is bothering you, please reach out to the organisers, and we'll do our best to resolve it. * Lastly, don't expect your book back. It will find a new home. If you love it, let it go. Major LANGUAGES (and genres) of this meetup: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian; Fiction, Non-Fiction, Serious Reading, Light Fun, “classics", Krimis, Booker winners, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Self-Help and more. You never know who can read what languages, and there's no accounting for taste. We are a delightful and international group of readers. We look forward to swapping with you

Singen macht nicht nur Freude, es hat auch positive Effekte auf das körperliche und seelische Wohlbefinden. Ich lade Euch ein, zusammen zur Gitarre einfache Lieder zu singen – frei von Erwartungen oder Bewertungen. Wir treffen uns nicht, um zu üben, um besser zu werden oder um zu lernen. Wir lassen einfach gemeinsam unsere Stimmen erklingen, so wie sie sind. Jede Stimme ist willkommen. Wenn Du Lust hast, bringe auch gern ein Instrument mit! Vielleicht glaubst Du, nicht singen zu können. Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass alle Menschen singen können. Zum Singen geboren werden. Trau Dich. Probiere es aus. Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis. Ohne Anmeldung Ich freue mich auf Euch!

Hello lovely sisters, We are so excited to invite you to our first Womxn Circle on the morning of 21st of December 11:11 AM at the cozy Rolling Tiger Studio in Kreuzberg. This winter solstice is a special time, honouring both light & dark and celebrating the light of the darkest day of the year together, through Ritual, Meditation, Exercises of Belonging. Although winter can be seen as an invitation inwards and slowing down as nature does, December can be a busy or difficult time for many. In this gathering we will take time together to pause, turn inward and allow us to surrender into softness even with everything going on in the world around us. Let’s flow into the day with... \* Heartwarming Cacao \* Finding safety through somatic exercises \* Intuitive movement flow to invite intuition & sensuality \* meditation \* Journalling on subjects of sisterhood & softness \* connection exercises \* integration ceremony & dance What to bring: \* comfy clothes in which you can breathe, move & flow \* A journal & pen Nourishing water, tea, Cacao & snacks will be provided. An energy exchange of 15-20€ would be much appreciated to cover our costs. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Can't wait to connect & share this space together! So much love, Odile & Selina

Für all diejenigen, dich noch nicht für Weihnachten in eine andere Heimat gereist sind, gibt es wieder kurz vor Weihnachen noch etwas Besonderes: Ein Weihnachts-Stricktreff mit Schrottwolle Wichteln :-) Bringt euren ungeliebten Stash und eure Fehlkäufe mit und schenkt sie anderen Stricker:innen. Meistens findet jemand anders total schön, was man selbst nicht mehr sehen kann ;-) (Es ist keine Pflicht, etwas mitzubringen, aber eine gute Gelegenheit, was loszuwerden. Bitte nicht mehr als drei Knäuel mitbringen und nicht verpacken.) For all those who haven't traveled to another home for Christmas yet, there's again something special shortly before Christmas: a Christmas knitting meeting with scrap wool for Secret Santa :-) Bring your unwanted stash and your bad purchases with you and give them to other knitters. Most of the time, someone else finds something really beautiful that you can no longer see yourself ;-) (It's not mandatory to bring anything with you, but it's a good opportunity to get rid of something. Please don't bring more than three skeins and don't gift-wrap it.)

Take a break from the craziness of the holiday season and relax at The Lion with us. This is an new (to me) place in Bexley that serves cocktails, beer and wine, coffee, tea, pastries, snacks, caviar--a little bit of everything. The cocktail they made for The Drexel to sell for screenings of "Wicked For Good" was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Their tea list is also impressive. Take special note of the Emperor's Private Reserve Pu-erh! https://www.thelionbexley.com/menu I don't know how large the place is, so it's possible we might find places to sit, or we might need to stand. This is an informal event to explore this interesting location.

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! 📖
