Silent Book Club chapters across the U.S. are participating in #Read25Day on June 25th, organized by The Happiness Project author Gretchen Rubin in partnership with Bookshop.org. Thousands of readers nationwide are pledging to spend 25 minutes on June 25 reading silently.

Friends, SBC members, book lovers, THIS IS OUR TIME! 

Dozens of independent bookstores around the US are participating throughout the day—you can find a listing of them all at gretchenrubin.com/read25day. But we wanted to give a special shoutout to the SBC bookstore chapters that are joining in.
