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

Das Anna Blume lädt zum Tausch von Büchern. Der Fokus liegt bei dieser Ausgabe auf dem Horror-Genre. Wer kommt, bringt eigene gelesene Werke mit und nimmt neue Exemplare mit nach Hause. Kostüme sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Die Atmosphäre ist gesellig und auf den Austausch unter Lesenden ausgelegt. Wer möchte, kann die Dekoration vor Ort mit eigenen Beiträgen ergänzen. Der Ablauf ist unkompliziert. Bücher werden auf Tischen ausgelegt, begutachtet und bei Interesse mit dem eigenen Namen versehen. Bei Andrang wird verhandelt, wer das Buch zuerst mitnimmt.

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 o...
