**B.B. Bookclub will be having a Friendsgiving Game Day!** This will be a potluck where we play games, eat, and yap. The games will be a mix of everything from board games, to card games, to Jackbox and more. Feel free to bring your favorite game, but not required, there will be plenty! **For the potluck if **everyone who attends could bring a dish of some kind**, it can be a main, side dish, desert or etc. Homemade or store bought is totally fine (**please message me an idea of what you plan to bring** so we don’t end up with like 10 pumpkin pies 🄧 šŸ˜‚ I’ll update here as people register)** This is not the regular monthly book club, no book is required to be read to attend. If you haven’t attended a book club or event before you are more than welcome to come, it’s the perfect time to join in & get to know everyone. Message me with any questions!

From Books and Brunch Columbus

[Columbus library link to book](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3730872) Location: The Goat River South 219 S High St, Columbus, OH 43215 Street parking is free on Sundays [Menu](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/686d3ed16745133042482c5f/t/68ff654dbb03b96875430bde/1761568077220/all_brunch-20250311.pdf) Book summary: Maame (ma-meh) has many meanings in Twi but in my case, it means woman. It's fair to say that Maddie's life in London is far from rewarding. With a mother who spends most of her time in Ghana (yet still somehow manages to be overbearing), Maddie is the primary caretaker for her father, who suffers from advanced stage Parkinson's. At work, her boss is a nightmare and Maddie is tired of always being the only Black person in every meeting. When her mum returns from her latest trip to Ghana, Maddie leaps at the chance to get out of the family home and finally start living. A self-acknowledged late bloomer, she's ready to experience some important "firsts": She finds a flat share, says yes to after-work drinks, pushes for more recognition in her career, and throws herself into the bewildering world of internet dating. But it's not long before tragedy strikes, forcing Maddie to face the true nature of her unconventional family, and the perils--and rewards--of putting her heart on the line.

Frequently asked questions

Meetup is a platform where comic book collectors can find and join groups and events that focus on comic book collecting. It's a great way to meet other enthusiasts and share your passion.

Use Meetup to search for comic book collecting events near you. Just enter your location, and browse through upcoming events to find ones that suit your interests.

Yes, you can join as many comic book collecting groups as you like. This allows you to participate in a variety of events and meet different collectors.

Creating a Meetup account is free, and many events are free as well. However, some events may have fees set by the organizers, so it's best to check each event individually.

Once you find a comic book event on Meetup that interests you, simply click RSVP to confirm your attendance. You'll receive updates and information regarding the event.

Not necessarily. Some comic book collecting events may be held online, especially if organizers choose that format. Check the event details for specific information.

If no local comic book collecting groups exist in your area, consider starting your own. You can create a group on Meetup to gather like-minded individuals and start building your community.

This depends on each event's rules. Some may allow guests while others might have restrictions. Always check the event details or reach out to the organizer for clarification.

The frequency of events varies depending on the location and the groups involved. Some may hold regular gatherings, while others are less frequent. Keeping an eye on the group's event page will help you stay informed.

Meetup is traditionally centered around calendar-based in-person gatherings, but many groups offer online events too. It truly depends on individual organizers and their preferences.

Comic book events on Meetup might include trade shows, collection swap meets, themed discussions, or even social gatherings. Each event offers unique opportunities to learn and engage with other collectors.

No, the events are organized by group members or hosts. Meetup provides the platform to connect you to these independently organized gatherings.

Some groups may have a broader focus, while others are more specialized, perhaps centering around specific comics, fandoms, or eras. Exploring the group's description will provide more detail.

Most groups are open to collectors of all experience levels. Many welcome beginners, providing a great opportunity to learn from more experienced collectors.

Meetup offers great opportunities, but finding the perfect group relies on exploration and active participation. There may not always be a group specific to every niche interest.
