Silent Reading Party

Wed, Nov 18, 5:30 PM
From The Miners Poblenou Sur

Purchase tickets here: [https://luma.com/naan76o9](https://luma.com/naan76o9) **Good coffee. Great books. No small talk required.** When was the last time you sat down with a good book and read for an entire hour without checking your phone? The Miners Poblenou Sur is teaming up with [@rayslaterb](https://www.instagram.com/rayslaterb/) for a cozy evening dedicated to doing exactly that. 30 book lovers, one coffee shop, and an hour of uninterrupted reading. Bring whatever you're currently reading, grab a hot drink (included in your ticket!), find a comfortable spot, and settle in. Just you, your book, and a room full of people who love reading as much as you do. **How the evening works:** 18:30 — Doors open Arrive, grab your complimentary hot drink, find your seat, and get cozy. 19:00 — The silent reading lock-in begins Phones away, books open. We'll spend the next hour reading quietly together with some lo-fi beats. 20:00 — Back to reality We'll wrap up the reading session, with a little time to chat, swap book recommendations, or meet fellow readers. 20:15 — Doors close Time to head home, hopefully with a few more chapters read and some new bookish connections! **Tickets** Purchase here: [https://luma.com/naan76o9](https://luma.com/naan76o9) Early Bird — €6 General Admission — €7 Every ticket includes entry to the event, a seat, and one classic drink (tea, espresso, batch brew, cappuccino, cold brew, flat white, latte, or iced latte). There are only 30 spaces available, so buy a ticket early if you'd like to join us. Ready to get lost in a good book? Reserve your seat! **FAQs:** What should I bring? Just yourself and a book you'd like to read! Fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, literary fiction, graphic novels — whatever you're reading, you're welcome. Is this a book club? Not quite! There's no assigned reading or group discussion. This is a chance to make time for your own book while enjoying the company of fellow readers. Who the heck is Ray? Your future book bestie. Ray’s an avid reader, writer, and our host for the evening. He’ll be making sure we stick to our pages. You can find him on Instagram: [@rayslaterb](https://www.instagram.com/rayslaterb/)

La fragua de Efesto: ficciones volcánicas

Fri, Nov 6, 5:30 PM
From Librería La Malinche
4.8

Este taller pretende realizar una lectura de obras cuyo elemento en común sea el volcán. A veces como escenario, a veces como protagonista, dentro de géneros realistas como ficciones especulativas, se propone analizar este tópico y sus implicaciones dentro de la narrativa en cuestión, pero también como elemento configurador de los espacios donde se geolocalizan y su influencia en la psique de quienes habitan en sus faldas. 🌋 Leeremos textos de Andrea Abreu, Verónica Stigger, Viviana Troyo y John Elizabeth Stintzi. 📚 Con @lucileandrohernandez. 🤓 Info e inscripción: lamalinchelibreria@gmail.com 💌 📸 Volcán Arenal, La Fortuna de San Carlos.

Coffee Connections

Coffee Connections

Fri, Nov 6, 10:00 AM
From Backstory English Bookshop - Events
4.7

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. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).
