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 TXTUR for hosting us!
TXTUR invited us to use their gorgeous showroom space for a meetup in August! Their restaurant (The Stock Bistro - click the link below for menu samples) will be prepped with a special heavy hors d’oeuvres menu for the occasion, while the bar will feature a specialty cocktail "Welcome to the Library", a signature mocktail "Fiction or Non?”, and the rest of their wine by the glass and full bar service. What they’ve done with the old firehouse has to be experienced!!
