The first book of discussion will be the world-famous classic about Holden Caulfield: J.D. Salinger's *The Catcher in the Rye*. If you have read it already, it's time to read it again. Please mark one paragraph in the book which you loved, hated or didn't get at all so we'll have some points for discussion.

@ Anna Blume [Halloween Edition] - A cozy book swap and chat meetup!

Fri, Oct 30, 6:00 PM
From For all you book-lovers: Berlin Book Swap (and more)
4.7

A spooky version of our "classic" bookswap! \- Swappers are encouraged to wear **costumes**. \- There will be a dedicated **horror books table**, so bring out your favourite horror books and exchange them for new-to-you books. \- We'll bring some Halloween **decoration**, but please reach out to us to contribute more. The usual blurb follows: The "classical" bookswap is simple: * We meet in a café and put the book(s) we brought down on the tables. * We go around to browse and discuss the books with one another while sipping coffee or hot chocolate, or eating cake. * We write our names down on any books we’d like to take home (post-its and pens provided). * At the end of the evening, negotiate any books that are contended and take a new-to-you book home! Books/happiness shared are books/happiness multiplied! A Bookswap is 10 times better than a Book Club because you can talk about ALL the books instead of just one! This is a great way to give your books a new home and make room for new books: that book you feel guilty for not having read even though it's been sitting on your bedside table for the last 5 years, the book you liked but didn't love, the book you loved so much you want everyone to read it, the book you somehow own three copies of, that book you absolutely hated even though everyone else loves it, and so on. Moreover, you will meet fellow readers, get a new book or two, and several book recommendations. We’ve often had readers experience books they wouldn't normally buy and enjoy it. GROUP EXPECTATIONS for PLEASANT SWAPPING * Please bring a book! It's not that you bring one you take one, but do try your best to bring something. * Books stay on the tables, open for sharing, until you are ready to leave so that everyone can have a look. We are notably not first come first serve. Please wait until you are leaving to bag the book. * If two or more people want the only copy of a book, negotiate. Maybe one of you reads it first and then gives it to the others. Or perhaps they have found another book instead. Or leave it to fate and toss a coin. The best part: now you have found somebody whose taste you can really admire. In any case, please don't walk away with a book with several names on it without letting the others know. These negotiations are fun and easy, so don't shy away from a book because there's already a name on it, and feel free to put your name on as many books as you find interesting. It's not that you bring one you take one; you may take as many as you can negotiate. * Political discussions with consent: make sure the people you are talking to would like to have a political discussion with you. * Please respect this space as first and foremost a community for connecting readers over their love of books and reading, stories, and narratives of all sorts. Please be respectful of tastes and opinions. * If something is bothering you, please reach out to the organizers, and we'll do our best to resolve it. * Lastly, don't expect your book back. It will find a new home. If you love it, let it go. Major LANGUAGES (and genres) of this meetup: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian; Fiction, Non-Fiction, Serious Reading, Light Fun, “classics", Krimis, Booker winners, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Self-Help and more. You never know who can read what languages, and there's no accounting for taste. We are a delightful and international group of readers. We look forward to swapping with you!

English Book Club: Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy 📚

Sat, Nov 7, 5:00 PM
From Metis Book Clubs
5.0

Last month, 18 of us gathered around Han Kang's *The Vegetarian* for one of our liveliest discussions yet. Thank you to everyone who came! In November we take a bold step: our fiction book club reads a memoir by one of the great novelists of our time. **The book** In *Mother Mary Comes to Me*, Arundhati Roy, the Booker Prize-winning author of *The God of Small Things*, tells the story of her mother, Mary Roy. Mary was a brilliant, restless and formidable woman. She founded a school in Kerala and won a landmark legal battle for women's inheritance rights in India. She was also a mother who could be both a refuge and a storm. Roy writes about how her mother shaped her into the writer she became, and how that same mother came to resent it. The result is a portrait of two extraordinary women and of a love that is fierce, complicated and never simple. It is also, surprisingly, very funny. The memoir has been one of the most talked-about books of the past year: * National Book Critics Circle Award (biography) * One of The New York Times' 10 Best Books of 2025 * Shortlisted for the 2026 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction **Why read it together?** Everyone has a mother story. This book invites us to talk about our own families, about the people who shape us and about what we carry from them, and about where memory ends and storytelling begins. We're expecting a rich and personal conversation. **Who is this for?** Everyone who loves books and good conversation. The discussion is in English, and you're welcome whether you're a native speaker or not. Come along even if you're still halfway through the book, because your impressions matter more than the last page. New faces are always very welcome! **Join the club** Our members choose the next titles together in a small WhatsApp group. Ask us at the event and we'll happily add you. 📖 Copies of the book are available at Metis. Drop by and pick yours up! **Entry is free.** We're a small independent bookshop and café, so we're always happy when you order something during the evening. We look forward to seeing you there! ❤️

Frequently asked questions

Participating in comic book meetups allows you to connect with local enthusiasts, potentially discover rare comics, exchange ideas, and enjoy feeling part of a community. It's also a fun way to spend an afternoon or evening with like-minded people.

Absolutely! Many groups are welcoming to beginners and offer a chance to learn from more experienced collectors. Check group details and descriptions on Meetup to find the right fit for you.

Creating an account on Meetup is free. While most groups offer free events, some may charge a fee to cover event costs, which will be specified on the event page.

If you need to cancel, it's good practice to change your RSVP status to let organizers know you're unable to attend. This helps event planners manage numbers more effectively.

Some groups feature comic book trading as part of their events. Review the event details beforehand to see if books for trade will be part of the agenda.

Events might cater to various genres; some could be more general, while others focus on specific types or eras of comics. Check the event descriptions to see if they match your interests.

Simply click on the event that interests you and use the RSVP button to confirm your attendance. It’s an easy way to keep track of your schedule and let organizers know who’s coming.

While Meetup strives to cater to a wide range of interests, availability depends on local organizers' offerings. You can use the platform to start a new group if you find a niche needing representation.

Events can be either in-person or online based on organizers’ plans and current regulations. Each event page will list the format, so you can choose what's comfortable for you.

Frequency varies by group and demand. Some groups meet weekly, while others might have monthly or less frequent gatherings. Check each group’s calendar to keep updated.

No, Meetup focuses on community and group activities around shared interests rather than 1:1 matchmaking. However, it’s a great way to meet and engage with new people who share the same passions.

Not necessarily; events are often hosted by enthusiasts volunteering their time. This can mean the quality and structure vary, but it usually adds an authentic touch as everyone's there for the love of comics.
