What is KBK Bookclub?
KBK Bookclub is a book club (duh!) taking place every second Saturday of the month at @krolestwo (Biskupia 18/1), in Kraków (Poland). Meetings start at 19.00 and are entirely held in English.
What is the book of the month?
The next Bookclub meeting will take place on Saturday, 14th of December 2024 at 19.00 (second Saturday of December). We will be discussing A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen.
How are books being chosen?
Books are chosen by those members of the KBK Bookclub who have an account on the Hive blockchain. In the week that follows the bookclub meeting, a post is published in the KBK community page to collect proposals and preferences. The book that receives the most preferences is chosen. You can get an account on the Hive blockchain for free at @krolestwo .
Do I need to pay?
Absolutely not. Admission is free of charge.
What sort of books are discussed?
Every genre is allowed. So far, members of the bookclub seem to be mostly into narrative. But this could change, depending on the taste of the bookclub members. As you can see below, we have also read theater plays and philosophical essays.
