⎡An artist of the Floating World⎦Book Discussion over Bites & Bev
I started this group to bring together Dubai readers who enjoy Buffy’s (IG @buffys__) picks.
As I will be travelling over Eid al-Adha, I won’t be able to host a discussion for Buffy’s May selection. However, a few of us had a blast at the last event and decided to read *An Artist of the Floating World* by Kazuo Ishiguro as a bonus discussion for when I return.
We'll chat about the book, meet fellow readers, and just have a chill time!
It’s free to join, and I’ll confirm a café once numbers are final.
Just a quick note:
* It's a small group. If you sign up, please do your best to attend
* Try to finish the book beforehand so everyone can fully join the discussion
Kazuo Ishiguro is one of my favorite authors. Can't wait to read and discuss it with you all!

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE SCREENING: LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES SAT 20 JUN 2026

**All My Sons**
by Arthur Miller
directed by Ivo Van Hove design by Jan Versweyveld
Bryan Cranston (*Breaking Bad*) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (*Hard Truths*) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (*A View from the Bridge*).
**Les Liaisons Dangereuses**
based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
directed by Marianne Elliott
BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.
Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

Critics praise Julia Roberts’ star-making performance, the undeniable chemistry between her and Richard Gere, and its warm, funny feel-good story about kindness, self-worth and transformation! The film’s “intelligence and wit,” “first-class performances” and “sharp, funny script” have made Pretty Woman a classic and truly “something special!”

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
