📚 BOOK SWAP FOR TENDER HEARTS (all ages)

​📚 BOOK SWAP FOR TENDER HEARTS
5 PM • A book-themed gathering for kind humans

​Bring a book you like enough to rave about for 60–90 seconds.

​You'll introduce your book, tell us what the book meant to you, why you loved it, what was going on in your life when you read it, who you’d recommend it to — whatever you’d like to share :)

​After everyone has introduced their book, we’ll do a white-elephant-style exchange so everyone leaves with something new to read, enjoy, or explore.

​Here’s the vibe

​✨ Make a name tag
Add your name + decorate it however you’d like.

​You’ll also have the option of adding connection stickers (choose any, all, or none):

​🙂 Friendship — open to new friends
❤️ Romance — open to romantic connection
🌈 Queer — LGBTQ+ community
🔵 Poly / ENM — ethically non-monogamous

​✨ Ease into the event (totally optional while folks arrive)

​✂️ Make a bookmark
🃏 Pull an intention card
💬 Try out a new question
✨ Say hi to someone / offer a compliment

​Come early and grab a drink at the bar!

​the bar will be open until 8, if you’d like to stick around, hang out, and keep the conversations going.

​The vibe?
Low pressure. Kind. Curious.
Introverts welcome :)

​Tiny reminder:
You don’t have to impress anyone.
You don’t have to be interesting.
Just interested.

​Tender reminder:
Be kind. Be curious.
No pressure. No assumptions. 💛

​Bring:

​📚 A book you’d genuinely recommend
(Or something bookstore-adjacent if that feels more like you — poetry, magazine, puzzle, etc.)
