THE HOUSE GUEST
A curated bookclub celebrating people and literature — designed to make it easier for people to gather and read socially whilst exploring new idea and ways of thinking..
For us every book serves as a starting point to spark conversations that allow all of us to share personal insights, related experiences, and new viewpoint.
Making each meeting an opportunity to discover new voices and ideas. The house guests meets twice a month's, usually on the first and last Thursday of the month - reading all types of books, sometimes fiction, sometimes non-fiction, but always a worthy read.
Each month, we welcome our new guest (s) — whether it’s a club member, an author, or even you!

Almond | Won Pyung Sohn
Almond is a book by South-Korean author and screenwriter— Won-pyung Sohn.
This book explores adolescence, the meaning of emotions, the diversity of people's lives and journeys, and friendship. It’s a book about a boy named Yunjae who had a condition called Alexithymia, which impacted his ability to feel emotions.
The book cuts to the heart, the sweet middle of the beautiful and heart-breaking and violent quality of what it means to grow up..
Why ‘Almond’..
We chose Almond because it’s a story that gently challenges how we think about emotions, empathy, and connection.
It’s unique perspective invites meaningful conversations, offering a fresh way to explore the human experience.
It’s simple yet profound—a book that lingers long after the last page, making it an ideal choice for sparking thoughtful dialogue…
