The no frills, no guilt, no pressure, no worries, no interruptions Book Escape!

Meet up at our cozy local brewpub for books and beverages in a silent reading hour. Following our hour of reading will be an optional socializing and discussion time to talk with other bibliophiles. The reading is your choice of book, the socializing is your level of comfort, and the drinks are top notch local creations.

Join us for "introvert happy hour", bring any book you'd like for an hour of reading in the company of fellow book lovers.

We will meet the fourth Wednesday of every month at The Congregation. All are welcome!

The easiest book club you’ll ever join.

Bring a book to read, buy a drink at the nearby cafe and settle down to read. After 45 minutes of quiet reading time, you can stick around to talk books or leave — we understand, we’re introverts.

It’s a great way to read what you like without the distractions at home and to feel part of a group without making small talk. Find the next event here! 

A Book club to please introverts, extroverts, those that don't want to be told what to do and those that love the magic of words.

Join the group here and RSVP to the next event! 

Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the assigned book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books and friends — without any homework? We give you the Silent Book Club.

It goes like this: we'll gather round to share what we're reading, meet some other introverted bookish types, grab a beverage, and then read in companionable silence for an hour or so.

Sound like your cup of tea? RSVP here!

A book club for people who don't like book clubs but like the idea of getting together and discussing books.

Join us for an hour of quiet reading and camaraderie with other book lovers.

You are invited to bring a book (or borrow one here), and relax with an hour or so of reading with the company of fellow book lovers in the first floor of the Bacon House or porch (weather permitting).

Please feel free to bring your own beverage (non-alcoholic) and snack. All readers are welcome—even e-readers or audio book listeners (headphones please!)

Put down your phone, pick up a book, and spend quality time with fellow book lovers. This isn’t your typical book club. There is no assigned reading or deadlines. 

Known as the introverts happy hour, you can discuss what you’re reading and discover something new or retreat to a quiet place with your book.

These events will take place once a month in Grand Rapids. If you have any suggested venues for future meetups, please let me know in the comments section.
