About us

Need a break from screen time? What if giving yourself 45 minutes of pure, uninterrupted reading in good company? Bring whatever book you’re currently enjoying and join us for a relaxed, low-pressure gathering.

### How It Works

First 45 Minutes (Silent Reading): Phones go on silent and away in bags. Enjoy 45 minutes of quiet, collective reading time.
Next 30 Minutes (Inspiring Connections): Chat, order a drink, and briefly share a favorite quote, lesson, or takeaway from what you read.

### What to Bring

Bring any book you love—fiction, memoirs, poetry, science, philosophy, or personal hobbies!
✨ Our Club Vibe: We aim to keep our sharing light, positive, and inspiring. To keep the space welcoming for everyone, please choose books free from graphic violence, sexually explicit themes, heavy trauma, or partisan politics.

### Community Sharing Expectations

Focus on Personal Takeaways: Share what resonated with you (e.g., "A quote I liked was..." or "This chapter reminded me to...").
Listen Without Debating: This is a show-and-tell, not a book review or debate group. We honor everyone's personal choices without judgment or counter-arguments.
Be Mindful of Time: Keep your sharing to around 2–3 minutes so everyone who wants to speak gets a chance.
