Admission to the private venue
A drink on arrival (wine or non-alcoholic options available)
Light snacks

Event schedule (below timings are approximate, and just to give you an idea of how things run!)

6:30pm: arrival, introductions, mingling

~6:45 - 8:15pm: focused reading time. Speaking is not completely forbidden, but keep in mind people are here to read! People often report the first ~30 mins they struggle to focus, but after this passes they hit their stride and are absorbed into reading for the next hour.

8:15pm - 8:30pm: discussions among the group about what you've been reading, how you found the session, exchanging book recommendations etc.

Other admin:

Kobos / Kindles / eReaders are allowed! iPads might be pushing the friendship
If you don't have a book there will be a selection of titles for you to borrow for the duration of the event
You can read anything, or use the time to write or draw. Just keep your phone away as much as possible

Come alone or bring a friend, just make sure your phone is on do not disturb!
