About this Event

A casual book club where we explore fascinating historical reads, share ideas, and dive into the events that shaped our world.

We won't just talk about the book — we'll also sample the music, news, and pop culture of the time to bring each era to life.

Come for the conversation, stay for the fresh perspectives and a deeper look at history.
