Wed, Feb 11 · 6:30 PM EST
A quiet evening of shared passages, meaningful conversation, glasses of wine and connection - because love deserves more than clichés.
Lovers and Readers is an intentionally small, curated gathering designed for people who value books, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection. With only 12 guests , this evening offers a rare opportunity to slow down, meet like-minded people, and engage in thoughtful dialogue about love, relationships, and the stories that shape us.

Your ticket includes more than entry to an event! It offers a fully facilitated, multi-sensory experience:
Guided connection through lightly facilitated introductions and conversations that make getting to know new people feel natural and comfortable
Deep, meaningful discussion around love in all its forms, grounded in literature and personal reflection

What to Bring
Before the evening, choose a paragraph about love from a book you genuinely enjoy... the kind of line you underlined, dog-eared, or still think about. It doesnât have to be about romantic love. Weâll be exploring love in all its forms: friendship, self-love, chosen family, devotion, longing, care, or however you experience and embody love .
Youâll be invited to read your passage aloud and share what it means to you - how it reflects your values, your experiences, or the way love shows up in your life. Think of it as a chance to let a book do some of the talking for you.
First time at a Social Circuit event? Youâre in good company. Everything is gently guided, thereâs no pressure impress others, and curiosity matters far more than confidence. Come as you are - the room is designed to make getting to know each other feel easy and natural.
This is not a book club, and itâs not a dating event. Itâs a thoughtfully designed social experience for people who enjoy depth over small talk and connection over performance.
Throughout the evening, facilitation will gently guide the flow - from introductions, to shared readings, to small-group conversations, creating an atmosphere that supports openness, ease, and authentic exchange. You donât need to be an extrovert or a confident public speaker; the structure is designed to help everyone participate comfortably.
Whether you come hoping to meet new friends, explore ideas about love and relationships, or simply spend an evening in good company with people who love books as much as you do, Lovers and Readers offers something meaningful to take with you, including a book youâll choose yourself.
