What Silent Book Club is Reading: July 2020

One of the things I look forward to every month is the Columbus, Ohio chapter of Silent Book Club meeting. Everyone brings their own book and reads together quietly for an hour, then we all nerd out about books afterward. If you're in the area, you should come hang out with us!

And, for the foreseeable future, you can hang out with us even if you’re not in the area since we’re meeting virtually! We meet on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm via Zoom.

Here's what folks are reading this month:

• Desert Notebooks: A Road Map for the End of Time by Ben Ehrenreich (This one is hot off the shelf! Expect a book review from me soon.)

• Grant by Ron Chernow

• A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

• Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

• Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

• The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

• The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

• Death of a Commuter by Leo Bruce

• Weird: The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider World by Olga Khazan

There are Silent Book Club chapters throughout and US and several around the world, so if you're not in Columbus, OH, check the events on the SBC website to find one near you. And regardless of where you are, we’d love for you to join us virtually. Event info will be posted in the Silent Book Club - Columbus Facebook group.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll connect meaningfully with book nerd communities online, including the Silent Book Club Facebook group. (Note: the general Silent Book Club Facebook group and the Silent Book Club - Columbus Facebook group are two different groups.)
