Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books—without any homework? At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading, just reading in companionable silence!
Each Silent Book Club will start with a short intro, where everyone gets to share what they are reading. Then there's silent reading hour! No pressure, no homework questions, just quiet social time with other people who love to read.
