Silent Bookclub 010

Where reading meets Rotterdam energy.

No assigned book, no boring group discussions. Just you, your book, a drink and a room full of people who also prefer stories to small talk.

English Bookclub 010

For people who like to read, but don’t show off about it.

We gather around one great book, the kind that keeps echoing long after you’ve read it. And we talk about what struck us, puzzled us, moved us or highly irritated us.

Bookclub XL: Rotterdam Reading Parties

Silent reading... but supersized.

Every season, we take what we do best and… make it bigger, 010 style. From sunny Jane Austen extravaganzas to gloomy indoor Dark Academia events, our reading parties are becoming legendary (well, in Rotterdam, anyway).

Reader Testimonials from Events

What readers are saying

Bookclub 010 feels like a warm bath. What truly makes Bookclub 010 special is the combination of coziness, accessibility, and a shared love for literature. The atmosphere is warm and informal, and the community feels genuinely connected. Marjan, Yasmin, Simone, and the rest of the team guide everything with such care and heart that you immediately feel at home.

It's like combining two of my passions: reading books and connecting with lovely people. I am quite an introvert to be honest, but hosting silent bookclubs provides me the safety that allows my social bubbliness to thrive. Books are great companions, they feel safe, non-judgemental, intriguing and they hold us and our multiplicities gently..so I want to hold a similarly safe space for you to create a shared experience engaging in our beloved activity together: reading.

Joined the Silent Bookclub as host
The Dark Academia Event was an amazing afternoon in style, with people showing up dressed up, and with workshops fitting the theme, like making your own journal cover, creating your own jewelry, and make blackout poetry with dark academia texts. To top it off for me personally; I got asked to write and perform a poem at the opening in the style of Edgar Allan Poe, which shows that the community is open to your own initiatives and talents and encourages to share them.

Reading is how I reset my mind. It’s like giving yourself permission to recharge, one page at a time.
