Monthly Book Club & Picnic 🌿

As part of our Women Social KA-Club community, we’re starting a cozy monthly book club ✨

Every month we’ll choose a new book to read together, meet up, chat, share thoughts, and simply enjoy a relaxed evening with good company.

### This month’s book

# Kin by Tayari Jones

Vernice and Annie, two motherless daughters raised in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, have been best friends and neighbors since earliest childhood, but are fated to live starkly different lives. Raised by a fierce aunt determined to give her a stable home in the wake of her mother’s death, Vernice leaves Atlanta at eighteen for Spelman College, where she joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected Black women and marries into an affluent family. Annie, abandoned by her dissolute mother as a child, and fixated on the idea of finding her and filling the bottomless hole left by her absence, sets off on a journey that will take her into a world of peril and adversity, as well as love and adventure, and culminate in a battle for her life.

A novel about mothers and daughters, about friendship and sisterhood, and the complexities of being a woman in the American South, Kin is an exuberant, emotionally rich, unforgettable work from one of the brightest and most irresistible voices in contemporary fiction.

o make the most of the good weather, this meetup will be a picnic in the park 🌞🌿
The picnic will take place at the Schlosspark in Karlsruhe.
The exact meeting spot will be shared a few days before the event.
Bring:

• a blanket
• snacks or drinks to share (optional!)
• your thoughts about the book
• and good vibes ✨

No pressure, no need to be a literary expert — this is about connection, conversations, and enjoying a nice evening together.
We’re really happy to create little moments like this together 💛

See you there 🌙
