Mental health matters
In a world that’s loud, fast, and often overwhelming, finding a pocket of stillness with like-minded people is no small thing. Whether you’ve shared a table in silence, dropped a book rec in the group chat, or quietly followed along from afar—thank you. Silent Book Club has been a source of light, joy, and hope for so many of us, even when we didn’t have the words to say we needed it.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to say thank you. To every organizer, every venue host, every attendee who shows up with a book and an open heart: your presence makes a difference. You are important. Community matters. ♥️
