I've just learned that there's a Silent Book Club at a brewery in my town and I'm kinda into it. You get a drink, read silently for an hour, then the next hour you can chat with people if you want. Sounds kinda awesome TBH. - ThreadSky

Omg where do you live, this is so my vibe

silentbookclub.bsky.social•23 days ago

Check and see if there’s one near you? https://silentbook.club/pages/chapter-map

michellerichmond.bsky.social•22 days ago

There is!! Woo-hoo!

ca1tm.bsky.social•24 days ago

I went to one last month and loved it!

quenbyolson.bsky.social•23 days ago

I need to find one of these in Central Pennsylvania.

amermanda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Im in my local silent bookclub and we meet at a brewery and its amazing! They make in-house root beer as a non alcoholic option and each week is a different food truck

annaguirre.bsky.social•24 days ago

Do we live in the same town?

amermanda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Delaware?

annaguirre.bsky.social•24 days ago

Nope! Cool that it's a thing coast to coast, though.

k2p2ssk.bsky.social•24 days ago

Does sound awesome to me.

slygoober.bsky.social•24 days ago

I started going to the one local to me and I love it! Nothing better than ordering a hot cider while reading in a cozy setting

nackereia.bsky.social•23 days ago

I have been to one! It is awesome af! I highly recommend.

elevated-ananda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Those have been popping up all over by me. I need to attend one.

jmhardin.bsky.social•24 days ago

The folks who make the Firestorm Viewer for Second Life does the same thing on a regular basis. They also have a Procrastinator's Club. I have yet to hit either of them, but I'm sure they're great times to get together with folks.

jazzrat2000.bsky.social•24 days ago

Love this at a coffee shop since I don't drink.

ewmorningside.bsky.social•24 days ago

Sounds like a true public house.

2boysdad.bsky.social•24 days ago

Where do you live? I’d like to give that a go!

prettypizza.bsky.social•24 days ago

If you check the Silent Book Club web site you can find a chapter near you (or find out how to start your own)!

2boysdad.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thanks.

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

We gotchu https://silentbook.club/pages/chapter-map

sydneyscottauthor.bsky.social•23 days ago

I love silent book club! A way to socialize without having to really say anything? Yes, please!

pkumpel.bsky.social•23 days ago

TIL there’s one just a few blocks away and their next meet is on Sunday.

cormoranlucreade.bsky.social•23 days ago

My town of 6k has one. It changes locations to support local businesses and every few months we have a book swap!

comedyvagabond.bsky.social•23 days ago

The brewery in my area has one every third Saturday of the month and it’s easily favorite day of each month.

devikk.bsky.social•24 days ago

Great concept!

brookebooks.bsky.social•24 days ago

Shut the front door! I wanna do that!!

okeeffebrian.bsky.social•24 days ago

My kind of book club!

fourmoyle.bsky.social•24 days ago

This needs to be in every town, tbh.

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

We’re working on it! https://silentbook.club/pages/chapter-map

chainingbooks.bsky.social•24 days ago

I'd definitely recommend checking it out! I run a chapter in my local area and it's led to meeting some really great people and some great book discussions

mildlyinsane.bsky.social•24 days ago

Where is this?

silentbookclub.bsky.social•23 days ago

All over! https://silentbook.club/pages/chapter-map

zettafrag.bsky.social•24 days ago

I would love this.

mrsmac111.bsky.social•23 days ago

I absolutely love this idea! May have to suggest it to a few places in my town. 💙

liviajones.bsky.social•23 days ago

I would almost definitely bail at 59 minutes but that would still be the most social 59 minutes of my week

wolfandwyldbooks.com•24 days ago

📌 🤔💡🍻📚

divinemsn.bsky.social•24 days ago

I joined a local SBC a group on Saturdays at a local library. It's the best.

wanderluxuriously.bsky.social•23 days ago

I just discovered this trend in my city. Seems amazing! Report back if you end up going.

chaostosurreal.bsky.social•24 days ago

I might start one in my area!! I started a movie group awhile ago and it went well

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

Do it! https://silentbook.club/pages/how-to-start-a-silent-book-club-chapter

karahd.bsky.social•24 days ago

Seriously… I need this.

queensassycat.bsky.social•23 days ago

A local coffee shop/book store here does one once a month! It’s super great!

beffiechelle.bsky.social•24 days ago

This wouldn’t be at dominion brewery would it? 🤔🧐

imphelps-writer.bsky.social•24 days ago

That does sound good.

perryd978.bsky.social•24 days ago

Where do you live? I'm moving there

ideasmatter.bsky.social•24 days ago

That is a wonderful idea!

robbierckstr.bsky.social•23 days ago

My town in central Florida has one. Go! It's so amazing 🤩

escribo490.bsky.social•24 days ago

wonderful idea

kylosten.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yesss! I discovered there's one near me hosted by a winery!

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

With 1500+ local chapters there’s a good chance we have one near you! https://silentbook.club/pages/chapter-map

erinhens.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thank you! I found two near me.
📖🙂

devikk.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thank you for the link!

jewelc.bsky.social•23 days ago

The only one near me is about 130 miles away 😲

silentbookclub.bsky.social•23 days ago

You can start one! https://silentbook.club/pages/how-to-start-a-silent-book-club-chapter

williamhaugh.bsky.social•24 days ago

Dope

gingerloubrown.bsky.social•24 days ago

That is wonderful!

laurenandcatss.bsky.social•24 days ago

My fave bookstore does this. I’ve been several times and I’m starting to see regulars. It’s great!

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

🥰

tierahruinsthings.bsky.social•24 days ago

I wish they had one in Edmonton!

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

We do! https://silentbook.club/blogs/events/edmonton-alberta-canada-1

tierahruinsthings.bsky.social•24 days ago

That's fantastic! Thanks for the link!

annaguirre.bsky.social•24 days ago

I'm planning to go tomorrow night.

fairlyoddmother.bsky.social•24 days ago

I've been going to SBC at a couple different locations in my area and they are the best!

aamunkoinvaeltaja.bsky.social•23 days ago

I would go to unprogrammed Quaker service for this kind of peace of mind. Sit in silence with others, fall asleep if need be, after an hour have baked goods and coffee with folks who proactively work for world peace.

calmitate.bsky.social•24 days ago

I love this!

authorlrolson.bsky.social•24 days ago

I started going to one in my town & have really come to enjoy it! They are nation wide.

galfrontrah.bsky.social•23 days ago

I want this in my town. Although I’m moving in a month. So maybe I’ll wait to set it up

alisonkirkland.bsky.social•23 days ago

I’m very impressed that somebody organised an event like that in a brewery.

displacedyankee.bsky.social•23 days ago

Love it…my daughters had “Reading Parties” when they were young…grab a book and read together…plain and simple

scruz96.bsky.social•23 days ago

My city in Texas has one, it sounds like a fun idea.

someonegrandma.bsky.social•24 days ago

Are they looking for more members?

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

Always!

annetasticthoughts.bsky.social•24 days ago

I have immense jealousy. Maybe I need to start one

annetasticthoughts.bsky.social•24 days ago

We have one! It’s at a winery. Out of my price range. Maybe I’ll start one at the library or our local bookstore coffee shop

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

Do it! https://silentbook.club/pages/how-to-start-a-silent-book-club-chapter

morningview-ok.bsky.social•23 days ago

They are. We have one each week at my local bar. So good!

ashenscars.bsky.social•23 days ago

I seriously thought the one in the town down the road from me was the only one. Silly me.

kristinleighwriter.bsky.social•23 days ago

Oh my - I'm there. Sounds wonderful - like my idea of heaven.

sybrinafair.bsky.social•24 days ago

There's one of those at a local coffee shop. Very cool!

bringthejoy.bsky.social•24 days ago

Does indeed! All reading the same book?

silentbookclub.bsky.social•24 days ago

Nope, it’s bring your own book! No assigned reading

jimftw.bsky.social•24 days ago

It sounds absolutely glorious.

thehalfman.bsky.social•23 days ago

This sounds like the perfect introvert parallel play activity.

boydloris.bsky.social•24 days ago

Sounds awesome.

itsimepoh.bsky.social•23 days ago

I started one at my local brewery a little over two years ago and it's great! You get book recs, dedicated reading time, and new friends!

silentbookclub.bsky.social•23 days ago

🥰

loribslp.bsky.social•24 days ago

We have an introvert bookclub here in Vegas that sounds very similar. Hang out at some local eateries, read what you want, talk/mingle if you want. It's wonderful.

bookbougie.bsky.social•24 days ago

I attend one here in Los Angeles and I love it. An introverts dream.

witchofthewood.bsky.social•24 days ago

More of this

itsmeliosa.bsky.social•24 days ago

The introvert with social anxiety in me loves this idea! So I could go read and if I don’t feel like talking after, I could just leave? But then if I feel good I might make a new bookish friend? So fun!

silentbookclub.bsky.social•23 days ago

Exactly. We are your people

itsmeliosa.bsky.social•23 days ago

I found a chapter in my city that I might try to check out! Thank you!

annaguirre.bsky.social•23 days ago

That's my take too.
