☕ Food & Drinks
Our meeting will take place at a local coffee shop.
Your Eventbrite ticket does NOT include coffee, food, or beverages.
Guests are kindly asked to purchase their own drink or snack directly from the café if they wish. Supporting our host venue helps make future book club meetings possible.
🎁 Blind Date with a Book Exchange
To make our first meeting even more special, each attendee is invited to bring one wrapped "Blind Date with a Book."
Here's how it works:
📚 Wrap a book you genuinely want to enjoy.
📖 Don't reveal the title on the outside.
✨ Include a few spoiler-free clues about the story (examples: "Morally Gray Hero," "Found Family," "Slow Burn," "Small Town," "Enemies to Lovers").
At the end of our discussion, we'll open our Blind Date books together and browse everyone's recommendations.
We'll then vote as a group to choose one of the submitted books as our next month's read, making every member part of selecting the future of the Midnight Library Society.
Participation in the exchange is encouraged but completely optional.
