What we're about
A Silent Book Club chapter in London. Everyone is invited, regardless of where you're based!
The rules of Silent Book Club are simple: Read, Wine, Repeat. There's no assigned reading. Reviews are optional. Wine is optional. SBC can happen over coffee, over lunch, once a month or so, with a group of friends or strangers. SBC is about treating yourself to some time devoted to reading in companionable silence and trading book recommendations. And never worrying if you haven't finished the book.
Upcoming events (4+)
Hi all, welcome to Silent Book Club! All are welcome to join, regardless of whether you're based in London or not.
SBC was created with the idea that reading with friends is awesome. Whether you prefer fiction or non-fiction, we would enjoy your company. Bring your own book and start reading with everyone else, quietly!
Here's a rough itinerary of our schedule:
6:15-6:45pm - Initial chit chat, do a round of introductions and share what you're reading
6:45-8:00pm - Quiet reading time together. We can play some cool low-key ambient music in the background during this period.
To avoid Zoom fatigue, I usually use platforms such as Kumospace and Wonderme for my events. I will post the link to the platform on the day of the event; you will typically not be required to create an account or to download anything. If you prefer Zoom, please check out the events run by my co-hosts.
