KBK Bookclub #50 (February 14th) | Komediantka (ENG: Comedienne) by Władysław Reymont

I am glad to announce that the book chosen for the next KBK Bookclub meeting is "Komediantka" (Comedienne in English) by Władysław Reymont. The winning book was proposed by Hive account@szmulkberg and was supported by myself and Hive account@szmulkberg. Other proposals were submitted by Hive account@krsz ("Journey by Moonlight", by Szerb Antal) ; and Hive account@wstawarz ("Mroki" by Jarosław Borszewicz). As all the other proposals received less than two preferences, they did not make it. However, I remind you that a book can be proposed as many times as you wish as long as it does not get chosen.

The BookClub meeting shall take place at Hive account@krolestwo on February 14th 2026 (second Saturday of January) starting at 18.00. The discussion will be held in either Polish or English depending on the language skills of the participants, but you are free to read the book in whatever language suits you best.

If you are curious about how the Bookclub is run, Hive account@przeczytaj has all the details. Have a read!
