Columbus, OH folk!

Come hang out with me and other bibliophiles at Silent Book Club tomorrow night. Just bring a book you‘re currently reading and we‘ll have a silent reading party. No pressure, no homework, just fun. It‘s the community of a book club without the assigned reading.

Tomorrow 1/9 at 6:30pm at the Arby‘s on N High St.

OffTheBeatenShelf.com @tpixie @mcipher @jess7 they have Silent Book Club chapters all over the country (and a few international), so there may be some in your cities! The SBC website has a list of all the groups. I‘ll have my fingers crossed for you! But even if they don‘t have one where you are, you can always start one. That‘s what I did. ☺️ 6y
tpixie @Jess7 awesome! Thx!! 6y
mcipher Very cool! 6y
