The reading party is back! Join us for the first reading party at Zing 2.0.
Maybe you've heard of these silent reading parties taking the country by storm. Everyone gathers in a cafe or brewery or bookstore and reads together for a set amount of time, followed by some bookish conversation and mingling. Bring a book or choose one from our shelves of used books if you're feeling adventurous. If you need a recomendation, we Camberville people are so lucky to have amazing booksellers at Porter Square Books, Narrative, All She Wrote, and Sidequest! Pop into one of those stores and leave with something great.
We'll also be teaming up with the pop-up Nebula Books to bring you a curated table of horror and fantasy!
Not sure what to read? Christopher Golden, author of All Hallows, Carry Me to My Grave, and more has some suggestions. Here are some of Chris's favorite books!
The Silence by Tim Lebbon
Blacktop Wasteland by S.A. Cosby
In the Woods by Tana French
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Luis Zafon
Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore
The Reformatory by Tananarive Due
7:30-8:00 - Show up, grab a drink from the cafe (which will be open late just for you!), and get comfy
8:00-9pm - Read in mostly silence! We'll play some lowkey instrumental music to create a cozy vibe.
9-9:30pm- Discuss! This segment is totally optional. Stick around and chat about what you read. We'll have some prompts to get the conversation started.
This is a free event, but please RSVP! It helps us know how many many people to expect and prepare accordingly.
