Are you into reading and do you want to meet other book lovers? And do you not want to join a traditional book club? You’re very welcome at our “Just Read Book Club” in Accra.
What is the Just Read Book Club?
Our monthly Book Club hosted at Theia Coffee House in Airport Residential is a meetup for book lovers and people who want to read more but need a little motivation. You will bring the book you are currently reading (or about to read), order a cup of coffee or tea (or something else) and enjoy reading in peace while the other book lovers will do the same. We’re reading together for an hour, but not the same book.
What’s the time schedule like?
The Book Club is happening every third Sunday from 2.30pm to 4pm. We urge you to be on time at 2.30pm, the first 15 minutes are for ordering a drink (you can’t order anything during the reading session!) and short introduction of the Book Club.
From 2.45pm to 3.45pm we will read. Everyone will read their own book. The last 15 minutes until 4pm you can introduce yourself and some highlights of what you have been reading (if you want!). After 4pm you’re free to leave, or stay for supper/snacks, read more, socialize more etc.
It’s important you are committed to arrive latest by 2.30pm and leave earliest by 4pm. We want to read in silence and peace, so we are trying to limited distractions (such as ordering drinks, talking, using the phone, people coming late or leaving early etc.).
This is your opportunity to really read and distract yourself from the real world. Give yourself this gift of 1,5 hours a month!
When are the next meetups?
We are currently running a pilot of the Just Read Book Club at Theia House on:
Sunday 19 January, 16 February and 16 March 2025
What do you bring to the Book Club?
You have to bring your own book. This can be a book you’re already reading, or you’re about to start reading it. It can be any genre. Just pick what you like.
You’re allowed to read on your smartphone or e-reader, but don’t distract yourself with calls or internet during the reading time!
Do I have to attend all the scheduled Book Clubs?
No! You can come any meeting that works for you, but do register! In the form you have to sign up for the date. If you want to come multiple dates you have to sign up multiple times.
How to register?
You can register through this form. You will get a confirmation e-mail as soon as possible (this is send to you manually, so it may take some time). If you don’t hear anything from us, please send an e-mail to hello@languagecafeghana.com or instagram DM.
How much is the registration fee?
There will be a donation box for a pay as you can donation, so we can continue running this kind of events and be accessible for as many people as possible. You also have to order (at least) a drink at the beginning of the session (during the reading sessions there won’t be taken orders). After 4pm you can stay for more drinks, snacks and even dinner.
Is there a maximum number of people who can attend?
For now not, but we might have to work with a maximum number in the future. Therefor, registration for the Just Read Book Club is required.
