Huntersville, North Carolina, USA (Charlotte Mecklenburg Library)

Huntersville, North Carolina, USA (Charlotte Mecklenburg Library)

Are you looking for a book club with no assigned reading? Some "me" time? A chance to escape the house? Join us monthly for uninterrupted reading time and the chance to chat with fellow booklovers at Silent Book Club.

With no assigned title or discussion questions, all you need to bring is your current read and your enthusiasm for literature! All reading counts! Bring a physical book, magazine, e-reader, or headphones and an audiobook. We'll chat the first 15 minutes, then read for an hour before coming back to discuss thoughts, recommendations, and anecdotes about our current reads.

Visit our website for information about upcoming meetups.

Raleigh, North Carolina, USA (Umbrella Dry Bar)

Raleigh, North Carolina, USA (Umbrella Dry Bar)
Hang at Umbrella and read a book! Yes, whatever book you’d like. Read silently for an hour, and then stay to chat if that sounds interesting to you. Share thoughts from the book you’re reading, or hear what others are reading about. Or peace out after reading time - up to you. This is a low-pressure event.

Some may refer to this as “introvert unite”, and some may simply see it as an excuse to be in a different environment for reading. We love the cozy atmosphere and are excited to welcome you in to silently read, together in community.

A non-alcoholic espresso martini in the lounge, reading whatever fits your fancy? No need to prepare questions, snacks, or tidy up the house? Casual chit-chat around books and love of reading? Yes, please.

Joy, comfort, camaraderie, accessibility, books without homework, pretty NA drinks. That’s the intention behind this series. Try it out.

Umbrella is a non-alcoholic cocktail bar in downtown Raleigh. Check out our website for information about upcoming meetups.

Lexington, North Carolina, USA (Pig City Books)

Lexington, North Carolina, USA (Pig City Books)

Our little indie bookstore has been hosting a monthly book club at a local cidery on a Wednesday evening for 2.5 years. We have over 250 people in our FB group, but usually about 2 dozen show up. We want to offer a bookstore-based Silent Book Club where attendees can read a book of their own choice and connect with other readers.

Our bookstore is right in the center of Uptown Lexington, where Center crosses Main behind the Old Courthouse Museum. Uptown Lexington recently introduced a new "social district" where shoppers can grab a beverage from a local watering hole and walk around. We will encourage attendees to grab a coffee, wine or beer from a local establishment and join us after hours for our Silent Book Club!

We will meet from 4:00-6:00 on the first Saturday of the month.

Join us on Facebook for more details.
