Silent Book Club coming this weekend, here’s the story behind it!
The Silent Book Club is returning this Sunday in Salt Rock with an outdoor reading session, picnic blankets, coffee and 45 minutes of uninterrupted reading.
The Silent Book Club is a unique gathering of book lovers who come together to read in silence, promoting a sense of community among readers. Aewon Wolf, the founder, was inspired by the concept after finding it online and decided to start a club in Salt Rock.
“The Silent Book Club is a gather of readers in one space with the intention of carving out time to read their current book in a space conducive for reading, it allows peoploe to be social but still introverted,” Wolf told East Coast Radio.

What's it all about?
The Silent Book Club is designed to carve out dedicated time for reading in a conducive environment. Participants engage in reading rounds, where they wear headsets and focus on their books for 45 minutes without distractions. This setup allows individuals to be social while still enjoying their love for reading in silence.
“We have reading rounds where everyone puts a headset on and then clocks in 45 mins with their phones on silent and no outside disturbances,” Wolf explained.
The next Silent Book Club event will take place this Sunday, 31 August, from 11:30 AM to 2 PM at Mellownello Coffee in the beautiful space of Slow Roads Collective in Salt Rock.
This outdoor edition invites participants to bring picnic blankets and enjoy the serene surroundings while immersed in their books.
