Bookclub: Shida Bazyar The nights are quiet in Tehran
About the event
Hi all,
About our group
• We're a small, friendly book club that started in 2023, with a focus on reading works by women authors from across the world. 📖 • We meet once a month, on the second Friday of each month, in the same place. Ideally, you'd be ok with committing to read one book a month and joining the bookclub for a chat about it. ☕📚💬 • We're looking for a few new members who'd like to become part of the club long term. We know life happens (and on occasion other events get in the way😅), so we're not expecting perfection and attendance every month, but a commitment to do as often as possible so we can all have interesting exchanges of ideas and perspectives, and foster a strong readers group. 💛 • We intentionally keep the group small and closed, because we want to create a space where we can really get to know each other and build genuine friendships, rather than being a book club where people come and go. 🫶✨ • And it's not all about the books! We also organise social events, celebrate birthdays and other special occasions, and go away together for a yearly weekend retreat. 🏡🌿📚 • Curious to see what we've been reading so far? 📖 Have a look [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12X06vDtuAlkwtoFpyIsXqsceR-NgX-338c4kAOVQr3M/edit?usp=sharing). • If this sounds like your kind of book club, we'd love to meet you! 💕 Come along to one of our next events, and see if we're your people. 📚✨
