Book Drives Barcelona

Cozy Tuesday Book Club

**Welcome to the first meeting of our cozy book club!** 📚☕ The idea is simple: we’ll pick a book together, read it at our own pace until the next meeting, and discuss it when we meet again. I created this club so we can discover new authors and genres together, connect with like-minded people, and enjoy a good cup of coffee, tea, or whatever drink you prefer. Feel free to bring book suggestions — these can be specific titles, authors, or even themes such as *modern Japanese literature*. As a small book club, we’re open to variety. If you don’t have a clear idea yet, don’t worry — I’ll come prepared with a list of suggestions. **Note:** These meetings are free and will always be. **About me**: I'm former Reuters journalist and creative storyteller. When I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably hiking somewhere. I moved to Barcelona from Gdańsk two years ago and would love to connect with fellow book lovers here.

Book talk: Radical Justice – Building the World We Need

In a world where fascists are winning elections, economic inequality is rampant, and the climate crisis is at its tipping point, it can feel like the amount of work needed to overcome these injustices is too much to handle. But what if there is a way to lower the threshold to action? Who will free us if not ourselves? In her new book Radical Justice, international human rights lawyer Nani Jansen Reventlow offers a powerful and practical guide for strengthening the movement for freedom and equality for all. Drawing on decades of legal and activist work, she shows how each of us—within our own spheres of influence—can take meaningful action toward systemic change. Inspired by anti-racist and social justice thinkers such as Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò and Angela Davis, Radical Justice moves beyond despair and into action. The book explores concrete pathways including strategic litigation, digital rights, reparations, and climate justice, while inviting readers to learn, reflect, and act in a society that often tells us change is impossible. Brandee Butler, CEO of the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) and a long-time strategist working at the intersection of human rights, philanthropy, and responsible business, will host Jansen Reventlow in conversation. Taking inspiration from the book, they will explore some of the most pressing issues of our time and, most importantly, how each of us can be the revolution. **EVENT SCHEDULE** 17:30 Walk-in and informal mingling 18:00 Conversation begins 19:00 Book signing and continued conversation 19:30 Event ends *About the speakers* **Nani Jansen Reventlow** is an internationally recognised human rights lawyer who has worked with communities, movements, courts, and international institutions to challenge structural injustice and expand civic space. Her work spans environmental justice, corporate accountability, democratic freedoms, and the protection of frontline activists. She is the founder of Systemic Justice, which advocates for marginalised communities across Europe through strategic litigation. Previously, she founded the Digital Freedom Fund. Nani has been honoured with awards from Harvard, Oxford and Columbia University, among others. **Brandee M. Butler** is a lawyer, human rights advocate, and philanthropic strategist with more than two decades of experience working at the intersection of civil society, philanthropy, and the private sector to advance justice and accountability. Her work focuses on strengthening social movements, mobilizing philanthropic capital, and engaging businesses and public institutions in efforts to build more equitable and sustainable economic systems.

Coffee Connections

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs.

Presentación: «Para ella, que siempre ha sido extraordinaria», de Camila Fiuza

**Fecha:** Miércoles 27 de mayo **Horario:** de 19.00 a 20.30 **Lugar:** [Amora Libros](https://www.instagram.com/amoralibros_bcn/) \- C\. Ramón y Cajal\, 142 **Inscripción: Gratuita** a través del siguiente enlace: [Entradas](https://entradium.com/events/presentacion-libro-para-ella-que-siempre-ha-sido-extraordinaria) [Libros del Ciempiés](http://www.ciempies.es/) tiene la convicción de que ayudar a impulsar nuevas carreras es otra manera de promover la diversidad y la inclusión. Cada una de las Voces del Ciempiés es única y singular, y esto se refleja en las historias que escribe y los recursos estéticos y literarios que elige para hacerlo. Esta colección aspira a convertirse en una caja de resonancia para una pluralidad de perspectivas, estilos e imaginarios que muy probablemente no tendrían cabida en circuitos editoriales más comerciales. Ojalá, querida persona ávida de nuevas páginas, que las Voces del Ciempiés te lleven a viajar por otros mundos posibles. Que te hagan soñar. Que te emocionen. Que te diviertan. Que te inviten a la reflexión. Que no te dejen indiferente. Y, por qué no, que te inspiren tal vez a contar con tu propia voz. **Sobre el libro** Alice es una adulta aparentemente funcional hasta que un diagnóstico sacude su mundo y la obliga a replantearse todo. Entre Río de Janeiro y Barcelona, su vida se convertirá en un territorio incierto donde las preguntas pesarán más que las certezas: ¿A dónde pertenezco? ¿Qué lugar ocupo en el mundo como mujer, hija, pareja, amiga y migrante? ¿Dónde aferrarse cuando todo parece tambalear? En esta novela, Camila Fiuza nos mostrará que todo lo malo, todo lo bueno y todo lo que hay en el medio son apenas distintas caras de una misma moneda. Que el pasado, el presente y el futuro pueden convivir perfectamente tomados de las manos. Y que por más que haya cosas que intentemos dejar atrás, estas siempre encontrarán la manera de seguir permaneciendo.

Cli-Fi Book Club: TBD

The climate emergency requires more than facts alone. The transformation we need must be measured in greenhouse gas emissions averted and solar panels installed, but it is also an emotional transition, a shift in the narratives we tell, a reconnection with old wisdom and so much more. In short, it is perfectly suited for fiction. If you are seeking such guidance, and if you want to be part of a community, we would love to have you join the Cli-Fi Club this month. Our selection for this month will be announced soon. This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. You can also [buy a copy of the book from them online](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/the-water-knife/). To cover Meetup fees and other costs, we also encourage a €1 donation per attendee. **About the Cli-Fi Club** We read climate fiction — ie, cli-fi — of all types. Our focus is on works that grapple seriously and thoughtful with the emotions and meaning of this moment, what may lie ahead and what may already be lost. Our selections go well beyond the stereotypical conception of cli-fi — ie, science fiction and post-apocalyptic narratives — to include a range of works that engage creatively with humanity’s great challenge, and may even leave you inspired. **About this community** Are you new to the meetup group Let’s Talk About Climate Change or our WhatsApp group Mobilizing Hope? We work to bring together English-speaking people in Barcelona and beyond for climate education and action, and also community. We welcome speakers of Catalan, Castellano and other languages, but most of our events are in English because most of our organizers and attendees are more comfortable in English than other languages. We created this group because we could not find any community like it. We range from degrowthers to startup founders, from artists to data scientists. We may not agree on everything, but we all want to move in the same direction. If you do too, you’re welcome to make it your home.
