Silent Book Club Seattle @ The Ink Drinker

With the demise of our U-District homebase, we're moving to other neighborhoods... Welcome to our first meet up at The Ink Drinker, a book-themed bar in Ballard and a most welcoming place to read in public. We are establishing this event on the second Thursday of every month, with a later start time befitting the pre-weekend meetup date. Whether you’re diving into a gripping novel, finishing your latest nonfiction pick, or simply savoring a few quiet moments with a book, this welcoming gathering is the perfect way to enjoy reading in good company. Bring your favorite read, a friend, or just yourself. All book genres, reading mediums, and readers 21+ are welcome! **📅 Event Schedule** **⏳ 7:15 - 7:30 → Arrive, settle in, and purchase a beverage - please support our host venue!** **\*\*\*Arriving after 7:30 pm may not ensure optimal or available seating.\*\*\*** **📖 \~7:45 - \~8:00 PM → Introduce yourself (name+location, what you’re reading).** **🤫 \~8:00 - 9:00 PM → Silent reading time.** 🍾 **9:00 PM onwards → Optional social time.** We are establishing this event on the second Thursday of every month, with a later start time befitting the pre-weekend date. **🔹 RSVP & Event Guidelines** **✔ No assigned reading – Bring any book you’re currently enjoying (physical, e-reader, or audiobook with headphones).** **✔ RSVP REQUIRED – Note that the Ink Drinker has a maximum capacity of 50.
