Come join us for a chilled, in-person Local Reads Book Club Meeting — where we slow down, show up, and share the South African books we’ve been reading. This isn’t your usual bookclub: We’re not all reading the same book (unless you want to) — instead, everyone brings a South African book they’ve recently read and comes ready to share their experience with it. Whether you loved it, hated it, or are still trying to finish it, we want to hear about it. What to bring: • A South African book you’ve read recently • Your thoughts and reflections on the book • A picnic blanket and maybe a cushion for comfort • Snacks or something to sip on while we chat Every two months, we will gather — usually at the park — to share the local stories we’ve been reading, connect with other readers, and just enjoy good books and good company.
