What's the concept behind a reading party? Normally, all you have to do is bring one of your books (either one you're reading or one you'd like to start reading), read a little during the evening and share your impressions with your book-loving neighbors, thus creating a collective experience. You'll get to meet other passionate readers, talk about your favorites and leave with a whole host of recommendations!

Here, the event costs 5 euros, but comes with a free book! You'll receive a book from the publishing house, but you can also bring your own and discover it later! Please note that the number of places is limited, and they're likely to sell out fast!
