The RIP (Read In Peace) Book Club

Why did I start this book club?

I love to read. And I love book clubs but I was really looking for one spot to park it and then have the experience of my choice. Sometimes I want to discuss the book and sometimes I want to just read quietly in the company of others and sometimes I want to do both in the span of an hour without feeling pressured. As an extroverted introvert, I can use up my energy pretty quickly and need to quietly recharge. And, well, now I can have it allllll. And you can too!

The Read In Peace (RIP) Book Club will have its first meeting at Hendershot's on May 20th from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Whatever horror books you want to read - psychological tales, Gothic goodness, fantasy, slasher, cosmic and beyond - you can read it here. RIP Book Club hopes to be an enjoyable haven for genre book lovers who want community without the pressure of a forced conversation or reading deadlines.

What do I mean by pick your poison?

You can read with others in silence, which allows you to dig deep into the monthly book selection or your own chosen spooky tale that you brought from home.

Want to chat away? Swap horror stories? Really unearth the meaning of the monthly book pick? There's a spot for that as well.

And you can jump back and forth. It's up to you!

And then what?

Once the hour is up you can stay for drinks or events at the space, continue conversations there or elsewhere, keep reading in your comfy spot or simply pack up and leave without saying a word.

Thanks and RIP (Read In Peace)
