Booksweet events are a great place to stay connected to your community, meet cool new people, and add a little bright spot to your week. Join us for our upcoming events in June!
Book Clubs
We hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don’t mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts about the book (the plot, the characters, and anything else you want to discuss!). We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts!
After a fun discussion, the group votes on the next session’s read. Feel free to pitch an on-theme book you’ve enjoyed recently or want to read with the group.
While we will have water and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options), Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don’t feel shy about sipping boba while we chat!
Your Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning. Hope to see you there!
