Open Book – Book Club (First meeting)
A book club with monthly meet-ups and no set book. At each gathering, everyone brings a book they’ve read recently and decides whether to recommend it… or not. There’s no required reading list and no imposed pace — just sharing, curiosity, and a desire to discover new stories.
It’s a meet-up for anyone who loves talking about books without formalities: bring what you’ve been reading (or that book you just can’t stop thinking about), tell us what you liked, what didn’t work for you, and listen to what everyone else has been discovering. In the end, you’ll always leave with new recommendations (and a few “avoid this one!” warnings), a warm cup in hand, and the feeling of having spent time with people who also live surrounded by pages.
If you’re craving a low-pressure book club, where every voice matters and every meet-up is different, this place is for you. 📚

Your writing instructor for this workshop:
Catarina Alves de Sousa is a writer, creative copywriter and co-founder of Story Owl, a bookshop–café dedicated to stories, readers and slow creativity. Between bookshelves and coffee cups, she’s been quietly building the kind of space she always craved: a cosy corner where stories are taken seriously, but people are allowed to be wonderfully imperfect.
In this book club, she brings together her love of literature and her gentle, welcoming approach to conversation to create a space where you can slow down, think out loud and let stories quietly influence the way you live your own.
