At Silent Book Club there's no assigned reading. Local chapters gather in person to read together in quiet camaraderie.
All readers are welcome — ebooks or audiobooks, poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction... it's B.Y.O. Book (bring your own book).
Nearly 2,000 local chapters are hosted by volunteers in 55+ countries around the world.
That’s more than a million readers gathering in cafés, libraries, bookstores, and parks to read, share recommendations, and swap books every month… or more!
Introducing Silent Book Club Reading Retreats, a new travel experience for book lovers. Escape to Costa Rica for an unforgettable adventure with Silent Book Club’s cofounders this November, and sign up to be first in line for Italy and more in 2026!
