SILENT BOOK CLUB is a global movement of enthusiastic readers with a drive to come together in a bookish way without the social pressures of a book club. Once a month we gather at Dorothy and read together without any assignment or requirements!

We also invite a bookish pop up to join us for the evening and on December 13th we will be joined by Zine Club Chicago & Sugar Hijinx!

Since 2018, Zine Club Chicago has produced free events and projects centered on self-publishing, creativity, and community. This DIY organization, founded by Cynthia E. Hanifin, welcomes zine newbies and longtime enthusiasts alike. Find out more at zineclubchicago.com and on Instagram at @zineclubchicago

Sugar Hijinx is a Chicago-based pop-up distro specializing in perzines (personal zines that focus on the creator’s experiences). SHJX’s selection of titles by artists from the Midwest and beyond is curated by Liz Mason (Caboose) and Cynthia E. Hanifin (Zine Club Chicago). Find out more on Instagram at @sugarhijinx
