What we’re about
Silent Book Club is happy hour for introverts. Bring a book, bring a friend, and order a drink. Then settle in for an hour or two of quiet reading with fellow book lovers. There's no assigned reading or discussion guides—that's the "silent" part of our book club—but we do like to share book recommendations and meet like-minded readers. While some silent reading parties have a strict No Talking! rule, no one will be shushed or shamed at Silent Book Club. All readers are welcome—even e-readers.

See all- Silent Book Club @ Distant Worlds CoffeehouseDistant Worlds Coffeehouse, Seattle, WA
Come read with us every 1st Sunday, 2:30 pm, at Distant Worlds Coffeehouse!
Distant Worlds is a queer-woman-owned, caffeine-fueled home away from home in the Roosevelt neighborhood. We love supporting our local businesses, so be sure to order a delicious beverage and pastry! And don't forget to check out the book vending machine by Sistah Sci-Fi: A Black-owned bookstore focused on Afrofuturism, Indigenous Futurism, Science Fiction, and Fantasy.
Distant Worlds has a ~40 attendee max capacity, so please only RSVP if you definitely plan to attend, and if plans change and you can't join after all, update your RSVP right away to free up spots for folks on the waitlist.
Schedule as follows:
- 2:30pm - 3:00pm: arrive, settle in and place orders
- 3:00pm - 3:20pm: brief intros (what's your name & pronouns, what are you reading?)
- 3:20pm - 4:20pm: actual, for-real reading time
- 4:20pm - 5:00pm: reconvene for social time and possible post-event activity (Distant Worlds closes at 5 pm, but we may go out for food at a nearby restaurant).
If you're feeling a little under the weather, please wear a mask and choose a singular seat. Better yet, catch us at the next meetup!
