What is KBK Bookclub?
KBK Bookclub is a book club (duh!) taking place usually every second Saturday of the month at (Biskupia 18/1), in Kraków (Poland). Meetings start at 18.00 and are held in Polish or English, depending on the language skills of the participants.
What is the book of the month?
The next Bookclub meeting will take place on the 9th of May 2026, starting at 18:00. We will be discussing "The Hobbit, or There and Back Again" by J.R.R. Tolkien.
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 .
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.
