​Communal Reading meetup

​These regular meetups are low-threshold opportunities to check-in with our lovely community and for newcomers to familiarize themselves with our book club.

​So feel very welcome too if this is your first time joining the Asian Book Club Helsinki!

​​What do we do

​📖 We read together in silence for about an hour. You can read the book we picked for our upcoming Book Discussion or any other (Asian) book you’re reading at the moment.

​💬 Before and after our reading hour there is time to connect & chat with each other.

​​The program for this meetup:

• ​16:30-17:00: Arrivals, ordering drinks & treats

• ​17:00-18:00: Communal Reading (in silence)

• ​18:00-18:30: Connect with fellow Asian Book Clubbies
