How it works:
In the first half hour, grab a drink, a snack, find a comfy spot to settle in, and say hi to the other bibliophiles. We’ll then spend an hour silently reading our own books. A 5 minute warning will be given, and we’ll shift into a discussion portion. This last half hour will be spent informally chatting about what we’ve all read and our thoughts.
This is a great way to connect with other readers, get book recommendations, and get lost in a good story. Perfect for the avid reader, or those looking to dip their feet back into reading!
