About us
If you’ve ever been in a book club, you know how chaotic the whole thing can get. People don’t read. Or they read differently. Or you race through the last chapters just to make the meeting. Someone inevitably chooses that 700‑page deep dive into the economic history of a country you didn’t know existed.
Silent Book Clubs take all this pressure away. Just show up, say hi (or not!), order a drink (or not!), and settle in with whatever you actually want to read.
Most gatherings follow a simple rhythm: we meet, chat for a few minutes, take an optional group photo, then ease into about an hour of quiet reading, with optional socializing afterward. However, some events have their own flow or special activities, so be sure to read each event description to know what to expect. :)
Reading alone, together.

Field Trip: Friends of the Library Book Sale
Ward Centre, 1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI, US## 🎸 Treasure Hunt & Reading Sesh: FLH Book Sale!
What’s better than a new book? A bargain book that supports our local libraries!
Honolulu Silent Book Club is taking a field trip to the massive Friends of the Library of Hawaii Annual Book Sale. We’re talking thousands of books and rare finds, all waiting to be rescued and taken home.
We love these sales because they’re the heartbeat of our local reading community. It’s the perfect place to geek out over a long-sought book or favorite cover with fellow enthusiasts. Whether you're hunting for a specific first edition or just want to browse the tables for some hidden gems, this is where the magic happens!
***
### 📍 The Game Plan
- 5:30 PM: Meet at the entrance (Ward Centre, in the old Famous Footwear/Roger Dunn space). Look for the group of people looking very excited about paper and ink!
- 5:30 – 7:00 PM: Browse and shop! No rush, no pressure—just pure treasure hunting.
- 7:00 PM (ish): We’ll walk across the street to South Shore Market.
- 7:00 PM – onward: We’re grabbing the long communal table on the ground floor for some classic Silent Reading time with our new hauls.
### ☕ Bites & Vibes
South Shore Market has plenty of great food and drink options nearby, but there is absolutely no pressure to spend money. Feel free to just bring your new finds and enjoy the common area vibes with us.
> Pro Tip: Not a shopper? Skip the sale and meet us at South Shore Market at 7:00! Don't feel like reading? Come for the hunt and head out after. Join us for any or all of it!

Proof Readers Book Club at Proof Social Club
Proof Social Club, 1154 Fort Street Mall #10, Honolulu, HI, USWe’re heading back to downtown, and teaming up with Proof Social Club for another Proof Readers Book Club where Chaplain Lane meets Fort Street Mall.
It's the ultimate low-pressure, good-vibes hangout. Love books? Love a good drink? The mocktails are legit! This is the spot.
We’re skipping the formal silent hour this time—it’s just a mellow evening to read, chat, or do a bit of both. Whatever feels right!
- Book Exchange: Bring a few, take a few. No rules! If your books don't find a new home, try to take them with you—otherwise, I’ll drop the leftovers at the Makiki District Park Little Free Library.
- Proof Library: They have their own stash of books to browse, too.
- The Food: Pasta Boys will be serving up serious plates of yum. Check their IG to drool in advance.
- The Proof Readers Deal: If you want to level up, give the bartender $10 and join their mailing list. You’ll snag a drink ticket, a $2 coupon for SkullFace Books, a handmade bookmark, and your choice of bookish stickers. It’s a steal.
We start at 6:00 PM and go until whenever.
If you need a ride, if you get lost, or if you just want someone to walk you to and from your car or the bus stop, message me at 830-255-7423.
Books. Drinks. Pasta. Good people.
See you at Proof!
