SHHhhhhhhh book club (the h is "silent")

Urbandale Location

Sunday 9/6 1:30pm - 3:30pm

Welcome to SHHHHHH Book Club — a cozy, quiet escape for book lovers, introverts, and anyone who enjoys being *alone… together*.

Join us from 1:30-3:30PM for a low-pressure, come-as-you-are kind of afternoon. We'll start with 30 minutes to grab a drink, casually mingle (or politely avoid eye contact), and find your perfect reading spot. Then we settle in for one full hour of uninterrupted reading time — no discussions, no forced sharing, just you and your book in peaceful silence.

For the final 30 minutes, you're welcome to keep reading, chat with fellow like-minded introverts, or quietly browse the shop — socializing optional, of course.

This is a free event, but space is limited, so pre-registration is requested to help us keep things comfortable. Register Here! ☕ Coffee, tea, and house-made baked goods will be available for purchase. Come solo, bring a friend, or sit near someone you'll quite possibly never speak to 😋 but deeply relate to. Either way — you're in the right place.
