Fellow bookworms, introverts, andĀ fans of not talking. . . Silent Book Club has officially surpassed more than 1,000 chapters worldwide!
From a cozy gathering in San Francisco back in 2012 to a global network spanning five continents, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. It's a testament to the universal love of books, the power of shared experiences, and the magic that happens when people come together in quiet camaraderie.
