#SilentBookClub

Has anyone participated in a Silent Book Club?

Near me one is starting up. I plan on attending to see what it‘s all about.

LiteraryinLawrence I‘ve wanted to go but there isn‘t one nearby! It‘s sounds like a fun concept! 8mo

Ruthiella Let us know how it turns out! I‘ve seen a couple of people on YouTube participate in these. 8mo

lynneamch I hadn't heard of this. Planning to be in the mitten in September, so am putting it on the calendar! 8mo

gossamerchild I always wanted to start one at the library where I work. It sounds like so much fun, and low key. I hope you have a blast! 8mo

fredthemoose This sounds so fun! 8mo

IndoorDame Love the idea of these!!! 8mo

TheLudicReader There is one in my hometown, but I haven‘t managed to make it to a meeting yet. Maybe this fall. (edited) 8mo

CrowCAH @Ruthiella @lynneamch @gossamerchild @fredthemoose @IndoorDame @TheLudicReader I will report after the event how it went. It‘s an interesting concept for a “book club.” 8mo

CrowCAH @lynneamch maybe I‘ll see you there! 😊 8mo

lynneamch Are you still planning to go on Sunday? I may not stay to read but would enjoy meeting you during the social time. 7mo

CrowCAH @lynneamch my sister and nephews are in town this weekend, but will be leaving after lunch on Sunday, so I may still be able to attend for the last hour. I‘ll comment back, if I‘ll be there. 7mo

lynneamch Looks like a meetup will have to wait for another time. The first hour works for me and the last hour might work for you. Maybe we can try another time. I may be back in November so will check on events then. At least we are both enjoying time with family. 7mo

CrowCAH @lynneamch sounds good! Yes, it‘s good to see the nephews, they live three hours away. Yes, we‘ll try to connect in November! 7mo

CrowCAH @lynneamch looks like it will work out that I can be there for the beginning hour! 7mo

lynneamch Shoot! Sorry I ended up making other plans and didn't check back. So sorry. 7mo

CrowCAH @lynneamch no problem. I didn‘t give much notice. Hope you‘re having a great Sunday! 📖 7mo

New England's General Stores: Exploring an American Classic | Ted Reinstein

I just went to my first #SilentBookClub in a few years tonight. In every other book club I‘ve done the average age of participants is usually 55-70. This one was probably 23 or so. In my early forties there‘s no doubt I was by far the oldest. Also they did a lot of let‘s talk about our books before and after. I caught quite a few people recoiling at the idea. Might be some shy introverts at a silent book club. #introvert #bookclub

Bklover How does a silent book club work? 4y

saguarosally @Bklover It‘s silent and you read your books. 🙂 4y

Bklover Snacks maybe???? 4y

saguarosally @Bklover The ones I have been to have been at bookstore‘s with cafés so you just order whatever you want. The first ones I went to a few years ago skewed much older and much quieter, and the one I went to tonight was much younger and more talkative. 4y

Bklover Sometimes it‘s just nice to be around people who read. I spend lots of time in bookstore cafes. 😊 4y

thegreensofa I wish I could don‘t think there are any near me. I have often thought about it and looked them up! 👏🏻🛋 4y

saguarosally I just went to one tonight. They had had them in the past where I lived before but they had gone on hiatus a few times. It was definitely different! 4y

saguarosally Yes, in two different parts of the US now. 4y

reluctantangeleno @saguarosally Tell me everything! 4y

saguarosally @reluctantangeleno Well, it‘s basically silent and you read books. But the way it was conducted and the audience was very different in each one. 4y
