    Join us each month for a ReadAloud at the awesome Philosopher's House! For this read-aloud book club, no one has to read anything in advance, and there's nothing to prep - just show up as you are, grab a snack or tea at the counter, and enjoy the weirdly wholesome community of a read aloud. I read the first part of a “classic novel” aloud for the group (one I've never read before!) - this would be perfect for listener crafts, mending clothes, or coloring books - but there will also be socializing before and after, and of course LITERATURE DISCUSSION (if you like).
