What Silent Book Club is Reading: March 2021 and April 2021
I’ve been falling down on the job! I just realized when I went to post the April list of what Silent Book Club was reading that I never posted the March list. So here’s both!
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 everyone was reading in March:
Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone by Sarah Jaffe

There are Silent Book Club chapters throughout the 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.)
