who are the introverted bookworms?
Hi, I'm Brooklyn. Most nights, I prefer to sit at home and read. 🥴
But it's not good to be a hermit. That’s what my therapist tells me…
"Go out and make some friends", they say.
"It'll be fun", they say.
They were right!
I started Introverted Bookworm for myself, and people like me! It's designed to be a casual and friendly way to connect with others, enjoy a good book, and indulge in a treat.
Typically on the 4th Tuesday of each month, the introverted bookworm club descends upon a local restaurants and bars in Olympia - to read separately, together.
Everyone brings their own book. We get a treat, read for 1 hour, and mingle for a few minutes. It's a casual, low-key way to meet Olympia locals and spend time doing what you love.
It's a win-win-win, and much more fun than it sounds. In fact, I recently overheard a hesitant member (my Husband) saying to a friend, "Book club is a lot more fun than I expected".
High praise indeed!
So be sure to join us next time we meet, we're excited to see you!

ABOUT US
meet the founding members
hi, I'm Claire
I wanted to get back into reading, so for Christmas one year I bought my two closest friends & I the same book to read together. My hope was to connect with my bookworm besties & rediscover my own love for reading! Weeks later, the three of us met at Brooklyn’s for a cozy meal together and discussed our book. That's how our book club began!
Even when we read different books (I particularly love psychological thrillers & romance), we love discussing, rating and analyzing the books over tasty food and a bevvy. So we decided to expand this tradition to include you, too!
I'm not really an introvert, so find me and say “hi!” at the next event!
Claire VanNess
Founding Member of the Club
hi, I'm Brooklyn
I've always been a bookworm. I lose myself in stories constantly - fantasy, memoires, dystopian, romance - all sorts!
I heard about these reading clubs in other states, and knew it was for me. I'm not very chatty, but boy, do I love to talk books.
It's not always easy to find community as an introvert, and as an adult. So here's my best try!
I hope you'll join us at the next event. and the next. and the next.
