Hundreds of chapters are hosting Silent Book Club events the second weekend of October as part of our global Silent Book Club Readathon, presented by Everand.

SBC Cape Town organizer Shawn Buck presented a love letter to Silent Book Club to a crowd of 300 attendees at PechaKucha. Watch him share how SBC works, stories from his chapter, and the lessons he's learned in 20 slides that rotate every 20 seconds. 

As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary this October, we are also facing a critical challenge to the core founding principle of Silent Book Club: the freedom to choose what we read. Silent Book Club is proud to partner with Libro.fm and 450 local bookstores and libraries to host a series of Banned Books Week Read-Ins October 5, 6, and 7.

Silent Book Club is turning ten! We’re celebrating a decade of chapters, conversations, and cozy reads with a new series of Top Ten lists — from the books you love most to the libraries and bookstores that bring us together.

For our 10 year anniversary celebration, we wanted to simply gather a great reader-related playlist for anytime. It pulls from some of our existing lists but adds more and mixes it up across genres.

Happy 10th anniversary to Silent Book Club, the global community that turned reading alone together into a worldwide phenomenon. What started with two friends in a San Francisco bar is now a global movement with thousands of chapters. Join us as we look back at our growth and milestones over the last decade!

Across all 15 chapters, we have over 2,000 people who follow our social media and attend our meetings, and more than 250 readers signed up for the passport challenge this summer.

 Getting help from trusted members with the same vision and who understand the goals of Silent Book Club really goes a long way!

Abingdon Silent Book Club had a fabulous day out on the Thames for its Reading Cruise from Abingdon to Oxford, followed by drinks and nibbles at The Head of the River Pub!

Just in time for summer reading, we had the pleasure of asking best-selling author Liane Moriarty a few questions about travel habits, dream reading escapes, and the inspiration for her latest novel, Here One Moment.
