For our next gathering, we’re celebrating the space where words and images meet: the GRAPHIC NOVELS.

Think illustrated memoirs, bold experiments, visual essays, quiet black-and-white tales, or lush, full-colour universes. The books you finish in one sitting and then immediately flip through again. (But don’t call them comics!)

If you’ve never really dipped into graphic novels before, this is a perfect entry point. Come browse, discover, and let someone guide you. If you’re already a devotee, come ready to evangelise a little: bring a title you treasure, something beautiful, something surprising, or something that changed the way you think about what a “book” can be.

Same relaxed format as always: no set reading, good company, a cozy atmosphere, and plenty of time to exchange. You’ll likely leave with a longer reading list — and maybe a new way of seeing stories altogether.

Feel free to bring a friend.
