Silent Book Club on the open seas
@SBC_CNJ going on vacation!
@SBC_CNJ is the central New Jersey chapter of Silent Book Club. we're adding meetings at sea! the chapter's organizer is a cruise fanatic, so what better way to expand our chapter's possibilities and locations than with amazing views?! anyone from anywhere can join on board!
our new "cruise-only" instagram: @sbcatsea (link)
each meeting is 2 hours:
first 30 mins: arrival/hellos/freebies
1 hour: reading! *introvert happy hour*
last 30 mins: farewell/prizes
the first and last 30 minutes are for socializing (or not, just go right into reading). reading is BYOB (book), in any form: whether it be a physical copy, your Kindle or iPad, your laptop, or headphones for your audiobook. There will be no assigned or selected books, only what you yourself are reading. we can share, suggest, recommend, or just chat, but the reading hour is a safe space of quiet time for you.
remember: you can always stop by the ship’s library for a book!
SBC@SEA is now an official @silentbookclub chapter! we must be registered to a city, so since we're all about cruising, we chose to be based in Manhattan NYC, a major cruise port in the NY/NJ cruise port. nearby are also the Brooklyn and Bayonne ports, all leading out into the Atlantic ocean. which is where you'll find us! 🌊
please please follow us on instagram! it's one of the only ways to show interest -- with SBC's support, we will hopefully be able to have the cruise companies work with us to really do something special for our meetings.
what is Silent Book Club? it's the book club without assigned books, and no book discussions. it's known as the "introvert happy hour." you read your book, i read my book. and we do it in glorious comfortable silence because we're bookworms enjoying each other's company. :) meetings are 2 hours, following the above structure. there are chapters all over the world, and now we're bringing it to the open seas - join us and let's read together!
