Reading club: Etxe bat norberarena, at Saregile, Orio

Saregile (Casa de Mujeres de Orio)

On Wednesday 18 November 2026 at 18:30 Saregile, the Casa de Mujeres de Orio, in Orio hosts a reading club on the book Etxe bat norberarena by Yolanda Arrieta. The listing describes the book as a poetic essay in which the author asks for a house of her own, a place where dreams can keep being cultivated. It says the essay is written from an old age that looks back toward childhood, continues the author's line of joining poetry and thought, and gives a voice to both reason and intuition. The house is built with words, as in her earlier Aguja e hilo, which won the Premio Irun in 1997. The book was published by Alberdania in 2026 in the Alga collection, with 90 pages, and the Spanish edition was translated by Izaskun Gracia Quintana. The session runs from 18:30 to 20:00 and is held in Basque. The listing does not give a price. A reading club is easy to join alone, since everyone has read the same book. «En este ensayo poético, Yolanda Arrieta reivindica una casa propia: un lugar donde seguir cultivando los sueños.» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

Club de lectura: Juana (Jon Artano), Saregile, Orio

Saregile (Casa de Mujeres de Orio)

On Wednesday 16 December 2026 at 18:30 Saregile, the Casa de Mujeres de Orio, hosts a reading club in Basque on the book Juana by Jon Artano, from 18:30 to 20:00. The listing says it is the first book by the journalist, published by Elkar in 2023 and written with the Tene Mujika grant. It tells the story of Juana Perea Plata, born into a Basque family that fled Bilbao for Bogotá in 1937. A sailor and diver, she was a bold woman who knew no limits, and she was murdered on 29 October 2020. Artano travelled to Colombia and followed the trail of her life to understand who killed her and why. The result is a travel book that combines journalistic research and chronicle, and it gathers a life crossed by war and violence together with the shared memory of both shores of the Atlantic. The listing does not give a price. A reading club is easy to join alone, since everyone has read the same book. «Fue asesinada el 29 de octubre de 2020, y Artano quiso entender quién la mató y por qué.» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
