About The Book Club
This book club will be about more than just books. It will be a way to see different parts of Helsinki, connect with new people without the awkward small talk (books are a great way to bypass BS), and to eat delicious food.
What types of books will we read?
Books will mostly be literary fiction and memoirs set in different places from around the world or by authors from different parts of the world. Both the company and the books will be very international.
Who should attend?
Finns and foreigners who love books and can speak English (this book club is also a great place to practise English).
When will we meet?
Every 6-8 weeks to start with. There is no obligation to attend every meeting. Attend the sessions that interest you and that you are available to attend. Hopefully, there will always be a mix of familiar and new faces.
How will it work?
It will be very casual so there is no need to do any homework. However, if you buy a ticket you will get sent a The Book Club Book to take notes about the book. At the event we will break into smaller groups to talk about the book. I will provide some prompts, but also encourage you to bring your own questions you have about the book. We will also snack on delicious food, have a glass of wine (or something else) and have fun.
Other things worth mentioning:
If you don’t read by just want to come along for the vibes and company, you’re more than welcome.
