Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the selected book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books, friends, and drinks—without any homework?At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading. All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it's BYOBook. Our events are free and support local businesses. Friends and strangers gather at a set time and location, order food or drinks, share what they're reading, and settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize—or not!
Thank you to Fishburn Park for hosting us! BYOD (Bring Your Own Dinner) to this picnic under the trees (first pic) which is easily accessible from the parking lot. When you come in the driveway, head up the hill to park in the lot to your left (to the right of the mansion in the aerial photo). Feel free to bring blankets and chairs to comfortably read in the shade. The only twist to this event is that because our meetup is after Mansion hours, there will be *no access to restrooms* so please prepare yourself.
General timeline:
6:00-6:30 Get settled and casual introductions
6:30-7:30 Silent reading
7:30-8:00 Group book photo and chatting
Hope to see you there!
