About this Event

Do you wish you had more time to read? BYOB (bring your own book) to Hive Mind Books in Bushwick for an hour of quiet reading time in our cozy bookstore!

We'll read for an hour, then leave half an hour at the end for everyone to chat about their books. No pressure to socialize, you're welcome to just come and read. This is some good, heads-down time to focus on our books.

Enjoy $1 off all of our coffee and tea beverages, and 10% off all book purchases.

This is a powered down event. We ask that everyone keep their phones in their pockets for the duration of the reading hour.

Totally free to attend!
