Event Details
What’s more social in a bookstore-bar-venue than a book club? You read at home, you meet once a month sharing your experience over some drinks, and sometimes, you even get the chance know and chat with the authors you have read!
Bilingual Book Club meets the second Thursday of the month. Y como su nombre bien lo dice, las lecturas se hacen en inglés y español.
Next meeting stories
Los Himnos de las Hienas-Hyena Hymns
Diferentes Colores Hechos de Lagrimas -Different Colores Made of Tears
Bilingual Book Club Organizer: Kathleen D.
Bilingual Book Club Communications: Noemi R.
