What Silent Book Club is Reading: May 2021

What Silent Book Club is Reading: May 2021

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:

  • The Most Fun Thing by Kyle Beachy

  • Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

  • Doomsday Book by Connie Willis

  • The Ghost Variations by Kevin Brockmeier

  • 10% Happier by Dan Harris

  • Hana Khan Carries On by Uzma Jalaluddin

  • The Fisherman by John Langan

  • All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer

  • Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil by Tom Mueller

  • Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy by Talia Lavin

  • East of Eden by John Steinbeck

  • Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown

  • The Moving Toyshop by Edmund Crispin

  • Flavortown: Poems by Danny Caine

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.)
