Bonjour à toutes et tous ! ✨ Notre cycle « Portraits de Femmes » se poursuit, et après notre belle rencontre autour de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, je suis ravie de vous annoncer la suite de notre aventure 🌸 Pour notre prochaine séance, prévue le samedi 25 avril 2026 à 15h00 📖, nous avons choisi ensemble de découvrir *Une chambre à soi* de Virginia Woolf. Un texte incontournable, à la fois intime et engagé, qui ouvre de nombreuses pistes de réflexion sur la place des femmes dans la littérature et la création. On se retrouvera autour d’un café ou d’un thé ☕ pour partager nos lectures et nos points de vue, comme toujours dans un esprit d’échange riche et convivial. Hâte de vous retrouver pour en discuter ! ✨ À très bientôt, Jade

Echange autour du phénomène OVNI, des abductions et de la spiritualité

For the meeting in April, we'll read and discuss Why I Write by George Orwell Sorry for the short notice to those who were there in the previous book club - having to do on an earlier date as I am no longer available on the 2nd of May - the date discussed during the meeting Description from Goodreads: Whether puncturing the lies of politicians, wittily dissecting the English character or telling unpalatable truths about war, Orwell's timeless, uncompromising essays are more relevant, entertaining and essential than ever in today's era of spin. **\*New to book club? You're welcome to join our discussion. We'll discuss our thoughts on the book and share related topics.** **\*Discussions held in English**

Un événement pour se rencontrer entre femmes parisiennes qui écrivent ✍️
Faisons connaissance autour d’un thé ou café et parlons écriture(s), lecture(s) et inspiration(s) ! ☀️ Et n’hésitez pas à prendre vos ordis (chargés) ou carnets : nous allons écrire pendant une partie de l’après-midi !

Pour cet IMPROMPTU, Ekaterina nous invite à visiter "La Fosse aux filles" d' Alexandre Kouprine et "La Maison Tellier" de Guy de Maupassant. Dans La Fosse aux filles, Alexandre Kouprine propose un tableau psychologique d’une grande dureté. Il ne cherche aucune provocation, mais s’attache à montrer la lente déshumanisation des femmes enfermées dans ce système, tout en explorant la banalité du mal, la résignation subie et l’érosion progressive de toute illusion. Le regard est empathique, grave, parfois étouffant, et laisse peu de place à l’échappatoire. À l’inverse, La Maison Tellier de Guy de Maupassant adopte un ton plus léger, parfois quasi burlesque, sans pour autant être naïf. Par le biais de l’ironie et du décalage, Maupassant révèle l’hypocrisie de la bourgeoisie provinciale et souligne à quel point la maison close, loin d’être un scandale isolé, est parfaitement intégrée à l’ordre social. Derrière le sourire, la critique est fine et profondément mordante. **Présentation d'auteurs** Ekaterina fera une courte présentation d'Alexandre Kouprine et Claude nous parlera de Maupassant afin de mieux éclairer/contextualiser les deux oeuvres. **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr(e) de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux œuvres d'ici là et d'être présent(e) le jour J. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre, discuter, autour d'un verre :)

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!

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!
