Silent Book Club

Written by Raquel on .

Join our Silent Book Club! Choose your own book and come read quietly alongside others at our shop. We’ll get settled and do intros, read silently for an hour, then chat for a bit (if you like). We will have some snacks and drinks, but feel free to bring your own as well.
Don’t know what to read? Come early and we can give recommendations! You can also browse our lending library, or choose a free book provided by our co-host @skylineblue.bookbox.
