Back to the park! Join us Sunday, August 2nd from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM at Washington Square Park to discuss the second half of The Ministry of Time — that's right, we're finishing the book!

📖 The read
We're discussing the second half (and the ending!) of The Ministry of Time. Can't finish in time? No stress — just SparkNotes it and show up. Everyone is welcome, just try to read the book.

🍽 What to bring

  • A homemade dish to share at the food table

  • A notecard with the ingredients written out (we'll have extra notecards on hand if you forget)

  • A blanket to claim your patch of grass

  • Tupperware for leftovers — there will be plenty to take home

  • A friend or two — the more, the merrier

🕛 The schedule (12:00 PM – 3:00 PM)

  • 12:00–12:30 — Arrive & set up. Drop your dish at the food table, lay out your blanket, mingle.

  • 12:30–1:45 — Book discussion. Ending breakdown — final verdicts, plot twists, hot takes.

  • 1:45–2:30 — Eat & swap recipes. Browse the spread, read ingredient cards, ask about the dishes.

  • 2:30–3:00 — Pack up & leftover swap. Fill your Tupperware and head out.

📍 Where
Washington Square Park, San Francisco. Look for the table, the blankets, and the book stack.

I assumed tables are back for this one since it mirrors the original — let me know if you're skipping tables and I'll tweak the food section.
