Happy Ending | The Curious Readers Club #Meetup2

For this month’s gathering, we’re switching things up from our last non-fiction read and diving into something a little lighter, warm, and easygoing—perfect for a cozy, feel-good break. We’ll be reading Happy Ending by Chloe Liese, a contemporary romance that blends humour, heart, and emotionally grounded characters navigating love, connection, and personal growth. It’s a breezy read that still gently explores deeper themes around relationships, vulnerability, and what it means to choose love in today’s world—without giving away too much, of course! 📖 In our discussion, we’ll chat about: * Our favourite moments and character dynamics (no spoilers!) * Modern dating culture—what’s changed, what hasn’t * The pros and cons of single life vs committed relationships * How we define love, independence, and emotional connection today Most importantly, it’s a space to unwind, share perspectives, and enjoy thoughtful conversation in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Come along for books, honest conversations, and a bit of laughter along the way 💛

Drawing together!!

日本語は下に Do you interested in drawing anime art? Are you expecting to meet people drawing together? Why don't we draw anime art together and chat with each other? NOTE: This is NOT a workshop event!! We may go cafe or early dinner afterwards if some of us would like to go. Fee:$2. We use it for running this event. I'll give my PayID on the day. If you prefer cash, of course, it works. What will be expecting for event : \- Provide an opportunity to gather who like drawing and chat with each other\. \-\- Make sure to bring your own drawing stuff and drawing sample you'd like to draw\. \-\-\- Unfortunately\, Organiser don't draw at all\, so can't tell any of tip for art skills\. But all other attendees may be able to give you some tips\, so have chat and exchange your opinion\. アニメアートを描くことに興味はありませんか？ 一緒に絵を描いている人たちとの出会いを期待していませんか？ 一緒にアニメアートを描いて、おしゃべりしませんか？ 注意：このイベントはワークショップではありません。 その後、カフェや早めのディナーに行く人もいるかもしれません。 参加費:2ドル。このイベントの運営に使います。当日PayIDを渡します。現金がいいという方は、もちろん使えます。 イベントに期待すること: \- 絵を描くことが好きな人たちが集まり、おしゃべりをする機会を提供します。 \-\- 基本的には画材は自分で持ってきてください。こちらからは提供するのは場所だけになります。 \-\-\- 残念ながら主催者は絵を全く描かないので、画力については何とも言えません。でも、他の参加者の皆さんは、何かヒントを与えてくれるかもしれませんので、おしゃべりして意見交換しましょう。

*RSVP required*** Thursday night English and Japanese

The Politically Incorrect Social Club

This is the first of a few meetings (in addition to the book club) to see if we should hold more in the future!
