Paperback & Latte - der Buchclub für Frauen* in der Diversity Buchhandlung HAPPY

Paperback & Latte—Your Book Club at the HAPPY Diversity Bookstore 

Paperback & Latte is more than just a book club—it’s a safe space for women* and those who identify as female, thinkers, and anyone who loves stories and books.

We meet regularly after closing time at the HAPPY Diversity Bookstore for cozy book club evenings featuring selected titles from contemporary literature and feminist books. Together, we read, share our thoughts, have honest and inspiring conversations, and create a space where every voice counts. At the same time, we’re open to new perspectives: book suggestions from the community are expressly welcome. The book club is hosted by the wonderful Denise (Instagram: @myreadsandselfcare)—your book bestie with a coffee mug :)

Look forward to group reading sessions, exciting conversations, and little in-store highlights—including lotteries for our selected books. We’ll also have comfort snacks, infused water, homemade pastries, latte shots, tea, and everything else that goes into creating a cozy atmosphere.

Plus, the bookstore’s peaceful atmosphere invites you to browse through books and the HAPPY collection in a relaxed and undisturbed setting.

Whether you read a lot or are just getting started (or getting back into it): You’re welcome here. Come as you are. Bring your thoughts with you. And go home with new favorite books, connections, and inspiration. 🤍
