Upcoming events.
The Book Club
One of the most pleasant surprises I have had since sharing more of my interests on social media is how many of you love books as much as I do. So, I have finally built up the courage to create an opportunity for us to yap about books together in real life.
The Book Club will be about more than just books. It will be blending many of my favourite things: reading, chatting, exploring Helsinki, meeting new people, having a laugh, and delicious food. It will be a way to see different parts of the city, support local businesses, and connect with new people without the awkward small talk (books are a great way to bypass BS). I hope that it will also be a way for Finns and foreigners to connect over books set in different parts of the world.
You can see our meet ups below:
