Reading together in silent solidarity! This is a book club that lets you read whatever you want, and with no assigned reading, socializing is optional.

How it works: Meet up on Tuesdays!
Stop in at Mezza9 Cafe, grab a drink and a snack, and immerse yourself in a quiet hour of reading. Feel free to mingle and meet new people if you're up for it, but it's completely up to you!

Sample schedule:
6:00-6:30 - Arrive, order refreshments, optionally share your current read
6:30-7:30 - Quiet reading time
7:30-8:00 - Optional socializing or continue with your reading

Tuesdays, Meet at Mezza9 Cafe & Desserts
20 3rd St SW,
Rochester, MN 55902

I’m always looking for opportunities to slow life down and get in more reading… so started a Silent Book Club, Rochester chapter 📚
No assigned monthly reading, no formal discussion questions- unless you want those! Bring any book, socialize, grab a coffee or glass of wine and read uninterrupted

ALL ARE WELCOME!

At a Silent Book Club, there are no assigned readings, just book-loving people reading together in public. We meet at an agreed upon location and start with a half-hour socializing, then we get down to it with an hour of silent reading with an optional half hour of socializing at the end, or just keep on reading...

We meet in coffee shops and other venues with good lighting and access to refreshments, including coffee, wine and tea! Happy Hour for Introverts!

Join us for some well-deserved self-care among others. Choose your own book as a cure for the soul!
