✨ BOOK CLUBS ✨

 

***

The Book Clubs below run on a rotation basis, every couple of months (info for current book club below):

- TERRIER BOOK CLUB -

It is our main, classic book club. The books chosen in this one will be mostly fiction. Perfect for those who like reading to escape reality !

- BOOK TO SCREEN BOOK CLUB -

Read the book & watch the movie/TV show. In most cases, there will be a date set to watch the movie all together before the meeting, where we'll compare both. We'll talk and share what we like and didn't like in both. For all the cinephile out there!

- BOLD BOOK CLUB -

A book club for the open-minded. Talk and exchange in a safe space, without judgement. Yes, there will be books on sexuality, social justice or other hot topics!

 

Current Book Club: Coming soon

- SILENT BOOK CLUB® in Sooke -

In partnership with the Artisan's Garden, Terrier Books will be hosting monthly Silent Book Club® (SBC) !

About Silent Book Club® :
SBC is a global community of readers, with more than 500 chapters/groups in 50 countries around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather together to read in quiet(ish!) camaraderie. There's no assigned reading or discussion guides—that's the "silent" part of the book club—but we do like to share book recommendations and meet like-minded readers. All readers are welcome! Find out more info at silentbook.club 

About the event:
The SBC event will be located in the greenhouse of the Artisan's Garden (right outside Terrier Books), twice a month. 

Here's what to expect:
Take the first half hour to order your drinks, grab a good seat, and check in with your friends. 
After that, we'll announce the start of the silent reading time (1-2 hours) and it will be a safe quiet space to read. 
At the end of the reading period, and for the next half-hour, we'll announce that the silent reading time is up and if you want to continue reading you can,
or like a traditional bookclub, you can chat with those around you about your current read (great book recommendation and even make a new friend!)

You're welcome to come or leave at any time during the SBC. You can stay and read for 10min, 30min or the whole 2 hours if you want! We just ask you to be respectful of the quiet space when you arrive/leave the space.

No cost or registration. Drop-in event.
