i wanna be in a book club but not like a book club where we read the same book. i wanna read my own book in silence in a room of other people reading silently, drinking wine or other beverages of your choice and ofc baked goods or some kind of cheese board.

You are set up for a beautiful life. You will be able to create a similar atmosphere in married bliss-so long as your partner enjoys reading as much as you do.

@missy_lynn I!

I found a Meetup in my area that has what you described. More people may be looking for that than you think.

@missy_lynn Silent reading groups just like that sprang up during Covid. I've been to a few! Although without cheese.

@missy_lynn Unfortunately the local group meets on Sundays which is usually a bad day for me due to dad care issues. But next time I can go I will def. bring da cheez!

@missy_lynn I used to hold a games night that was mostly like that - 6 or 8 people in the dining room playing a game, a dozen more scattered around the house reading something from our bookshelves and occasionally wandering back to the kitchen for more beer or iced tea or cookies.

@missy_lynn We had this as a sleepover program when I went to Elementary School!

It was awesome. Thanks for reminding me :)

I guess kids aren't always silent but there was enough space for both socializing and reading in quiet.
