Silent Book Club is an anti-racist organization. We are committed to actively dismantling systemic racism through our brand and activities.

In late February 2020, Silent Book Club Torino hosted its first book mob—two dozen readers took over a subway car and read in silence from one end of the line to the other. The local news covered the story, and I messaged the organizers, Enrico Nada and Monica Di Martino, to congratulate them on the success of the event.

Two days later, news of coronavirus swept the headlines and Northern Italy went into lockdown.

Our next SBC playlist features hip hop artists with literary allusions.

As someone who considers gift-giving to be her primary love language, I couldn't be more excited to head into the most loving time of year. Not only do we get to celebrate winter holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, but also end-of-year birthdays and celebrations. This year we're sharing some of our favorite things to offer you gift ideas for the people you love. 

If you are looking for some songs to go with your October book club meeting, or want to expand your Halloween playlist beyond Monster Mash, we recommend starting with this.
