About this Event

Calling all book lovers 40+!

Join Christine Zangrillo—licensed therapist and author of Flirting With Fire—for a playful night of speed dating. Enjoy quick, engaging conversations with fellow readers, share your favorite stories, and see if sparks fly with someone who loves books as much as you do.

Event Details:

  • Hosted by: Christine Zangrillo
  • Ages: 40+
  • Cost: $20 per person

What to Expect:
You’ll rotate through several short, engaging conversations with fellow book lovers. Keep things fun, friendly, and light. We ask that everyone avoid sensitive topics such as politics, past relationships, trauma, or heavy personal issues. Those deeper conversations are great…but better saved for a possible second date.

Whether you're hoping to make a match or make a new friend, this night is all about genuine connections through shared interests in literature and storytelling.
