Coral Gables Love Reading Party - October

Join us for a reading party at the boutique cafe, Let Them Have Cake in downtown Coral Gables. All you need to bring is a physical, digital, or audio book to read. Make new book-loving friends and enjoy some time reading. Finally, you don't have to pick between reading and socializing. Do both at the same time and hang out with us.

How It Works

We'll have two reading sessions of 45 minutes each with a 30 minute intermission to meet other attendees, play trivia with book giveaways, and share what you're reading. Your ticket includes lite bites provided by Let Them Have Cake.
