RSVP for Book Clubs

Looking Ahead

Upcoming This Month:

We have the honor of being featured in a project documentary by a few VCU students. If you've noticed some kids with big cameras and lights at our events recently, don't be alarmed and pretend that they aren't there! Part of their project is testimonials and interviews, so if you're willing and able to be interviewed this Sunday, March 8th, please sign up here.

In the Coming Season:

Book club breakfast at the RVA Poetry Fest on April 11th (sign up to bring food here) and a book club at the VisArts center, discussing Room Swept Home (RSVP here).
Our Spring Social will be on April 4th at Stony Point Fashion Park and we will need a few volunteers to staff the games! You can RSVP to attend and even sign up to volunteer on the bookclubs app event page. We'll be joined by the Fredericksburg-based mobile bookstore TBR Shelf, so go ahead and set aside some spending money for books that day.

Ideas and Updates:

I'm envisioning another game night for the release of the new Dungeon Crawler Carl book in May... anyone interested?
New Sunday evening spot for the writers group! We'll be at Coco + Hazel at 5pm for the foreseeable future for our collaborative coworking. No changes for now to our Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Get Involved:

I'd suggest filling out our members form, checking out our social media group chats, and reading more about our community on our website and by reading our FAQs. I'm always learning more about how to make our events more easily searchable and understood, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask by emailing us at rvareaders@gmail.com.
Much love to all,
Breelyn

Looking Back

We had the honor of hosting Evie Mitchell, author of Knot My Type, on Saturday!

Not only does our new Sunday spot have coffee, they also have milkshakes and pastries!

At our Atmosphere book club we had NASA coloring pages and a quiz to determine who was best suited to flight assignments vs. mission control.

Events This Month

VCU Documentary Interviews

A group of VCU students are working on a project for their documentary class and it's all about YOU (and us)! If you're willing to chat with them about making friends as an adult in Richmond, please sign up here and I'll provide you with yummy snacks as a gesture of our thanks!
