Organizer’s description

You’re invited! Come celebrate Thanksgiving early with other grateful readers! Bring a book of your choice to read and connect with others in this lovely third space in Midtown, which is dedicated to artistic endeavors and feels like your perfect cozy home. For this special reading party, we're also sharing the love in the form of a book swap. Feel free to bring a book to give away and you'll receive one in return. Complimentary tea for attendees, as well as snacks and art supplies for purchase. Please note that The Drawing Room requests that guests remove their shoes before entering the space. Reading Rhythms is a series of welcoming reading parties designed to make it easy for people to gather and read socially. We invite you to bring any book you want and facilitate silent reading periods, as well as 1-on-1 breakouts, and group discussions to pull on the threads of the books that everyone is engaging with. In a world that can often feel devoid of interest and meaningful connection, we bring readers together to reconnect with our love of learning, to experience the wonder of beautiful venues and curated music, and to gather amongst all of the people who want to be in that very same room. Our favorite conversations happen in the Reading Rhythms mobile app.
