About us
Welcome to Seattle's original Silent Book Club!
Join us for an hour of reading with fellow book lovers a few times every month. There's no assigned reading--just bring whatever you're already reading (or whatever's at the top of your TBR!). All genres and reading formats (print, audiobooks, and e-readers) are welcome. There's lots of time after the reading hour to chat with fellow readers, swap book recommendations, and get inspired to read something new. Or, if you prefer to skip the chitchat, you can always "read and leave."
We start each meetup with quick intros: your name & pronouns, where in Seattle/area you're from, and what you're reading. These always spark post-reading-hour conversations and we love to see it! After reading, we almost always go for dinner or drinks nearby, and everyone is welcome to join!
Silent Book Club® is a global community of readers, with more than 1000 chapters in 50 countries around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather in public at bars, cafes, bookstores, libraries, and online to read together in quiet camaraderie. Learn more here.
