A party is rarely my idea of a good time.
Now, if you put the words “silent” and “reading” in front of it, you just might pique my interest.
My colleague Emily Crisman checked one out in December at the Cherry Street Tavern. People basically gathered with their books and read silently together.
“We both just really thought it was such a great idea,” said co-host Emily Powers. “I kind of feel like we were all missing those human moments and human connections when everything was locked down, and the silent reading party really gives both introverts and extroverts a chance to come together and do something that we love.”
Now for some recent stories:
