This year, there are numerous activities planned in bookstores all around the world celebrating the fact that Jane Austen was born 250 years ago. Bookstore Van Piere in Eindhoven has a busy schedule all throughout 2025 with different events and special activities. One of these is the Jane Austen Book Club.
Renske, who is a self-professed Jane Austen fan and who has read all of her books more than once, will lead the Jane Austen Book Club, which will convene once every two months at Van Piere. The Book Club will read and discuss all of Jane Austen’s books in order of publication, while enjoying some special treats and a good cup of tea. Whether you have read Jane Austen dozens of times or whether this is your first attempt, everyone is welcome to sign up for the Jane Austen Book Club.
The schedule is:
- February: Sense & Sensibility
- April: Pride & Prejudice
- June: Mansfield Park
- August: Emma
- October: Northanger Abbey
- November: Persuasion
Because of how quickly seats for the book club were sold out, there will be a separate English Book Club night, also hosted by Renske.
