What we’re about
We’re a community of book lovers who meet regularly to read, discuss, and enjoy great stories together.
We choose our books through group polls, spend time reading on our own, and then gather at a cozy café or library in Amsterdam for an open, relaxed discussion. Our conversations range from first impressions to deeper dives into themes, characters, and the author’s craft — sometimes even exploring the cultural and social context behind the story and its relevance to our own lives.
Whether you’re a lifelong reader or just starting your literary journey, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space to share ideas, discover new perspectives, and celebrate the joy of reading.
