Jane Austen Tea Party: Persuasion

Are you a grown-up who misses summer reading? We’ve got the pop-up reading group for you! A reading group is a little more structured than a book club, but way more relaxed than a class.

This summer, we’re hosting three Austen Tea Parties, tackling one Jane Austen novel each month while nibbling on tea & cookies, and maybe even breaking out our favorite fancy hats. Whether you’re a long-time Austen fan like Leah, or you somehow missed Austen in school like Nicole, our co-leaders are excited to lead discussions on these classics to celebrate Jane’s 250th birthday this year!

We’ll be discussing:

Pride & Prejudice on Sunday, June 1
Emma on Sunday, July 13
Persuasion on Sunday, August 24

All sessions start at tea time, aka 4pm! You can attend just one or two sessions, but you’ll get the most out of attending all three so we can explore the themes common across all three books.

Each session is $10 to cover our tea & nibbles. While buying the book at OTB is not required, we have both standard & annotated editions available in store or online with a 10% discount if you mention “reading group”!
