A Cozy Gathering for Book Lovers & Creatives

Imagine an afternoon where there's nowhere else you need to be.

Read & Create is a welcoming community gathering designed for women who love books, creativity, and the simple joy of spending time in good company. Whether you're currently immersed in a fantasy novel, a memoir, historical fiction, or the latest romance, bring whatever you're reading and settle in for an afternoon of quiet reading, creative expression, and connection.

Unlike a traditional book club, there's no assigned reading or required discussion. Instead, we begin with dedicated reading time, followed by an optional creative project inspired by books, the season, or simply the joy of making something with our hands. You're also welcome to bring your own portable craft—knitting, embroidery, journaling, coloring, or another project you enjoy.

This gathering is about slowing down, sharing space with others, and making room for the hobbies that often get pushed aside by the demands of everyday life. Whether you come hoping to meet fellow book lovers or simply enjoy a peaceful afternoon outside your normal routine, you'll be welcomed exactly as you are.

No artistic experience is necessary. No pressure to socialize. Just books, creativity, and cozy company.
