How much Proof do you need?

Posted on by Mitchell

Proof Readers Book Club!

6 to whenever at Proof Social Club, where Fort Street Mall meets Chaplain Lane.

There’s no program: just good books, good people, good vibes, good drinks (mocktails too!), and good food.

Bring something to read, or select something from our book exchange table or Proof’s Little Free Library to take home.

Find a spot and get lost in a book.
Or find a spot and chat about books.
Or just find a spot.
Your people are here.

Text Mitchell at 830-255-7423 if you’d like a ride home or if you’d like someone to accompany you to or from your car or bus stop. I mean it!

We can’t wait to read with you!

Your cozy Monday sanctuary. ☁️✨

Noah Plays Piano hosts us at The Fabulous Boba Room in Waipahu for an afternoon of total brain nourishment.

Step 1: Grab some boba or an excellent espresso drink.
Step 2 (12-2): Dive into your current read with your bookish friends.
Step 3 (2-4): Let Noah’s piano music melt your stress away.

We’re right across the parking lot from Savers, so you can thrift and read. The used book section here is pretty great.

Pull up for an hour or kick it with us all afternoon. Can’t wait to read with you!

Kawaikui Beach Park this Saturday!

Posted on by Mitchell

Ready for a gorgeous afternoon of beachside reading? 🌊📚

Come hang out, catch the ocean breeze, and finally make a dent in that to-read pile! Here is everything you need to know for our next read-up:

📍 The Spot
We’re gathering at Kawaikui Beach Park (right on the far edge of Āina Haina going east, just before Niu Valley). It’s got great shady trees, public restrooms, and free parking!

🚗 Parking Pro-Tips
If the main lot is full, give it a few minutes to see if a spot opens up. Otherwise, the closest neighborhood parking is on Kirkwood, which is a lovely 7-to-10-minute walk down to the beach.

🕵️‍♂️ Find the Club
Gina is hosting! Look for her in a shady spot on the Waimanalo side of the park (that’s the left side as you’re facing the ocean).

🎒 What to Bring
* Your current read: Physical books, e-readers, audiobooks, manga, textbooks—all formats and genres are welcome!
* Comfort gear: A beach chair or towel, sunscreen, and your favorite snacks or drinks.

🕒 The Vibe
We’ll chat for a bit, snap a quick (and completely voluntary!) group photo, and then dive into one full hour of quiet reading. We’ll wrap up with some optional socializing. (And yes, socializing is always totally optional—introverts, we got you! 😉)

See you by the water! Don’t forget to add your name to our email list if you haven’t already! ✨

Reading Under the Blue Tree

Posted on by Mitchell

Our first read-up hosted by Nikki!

Ready for a blissful morning of books and brews?☕📚

Join us for our first read-up at Blue Tree Cafe in Kaka‘ako! Whether you’re finishing a thriller, listening to a new biography audiobook, or scrolling through an e-reader, all formats and genres are welcome. Just bring something you love!

Grab a coffee, settle in, and chat with fellow book-lovers.

Then enjoy an hour of solid, quiet reading, followed by optional socializing to close out the session.

📍 Our monthly schedule had a little hiccup! Blue Tree is NOT inside SALT. You’ll find it right across Keawe Street from SALT, in The Collection condominium complex.

Make sure you’re at the Kaka‘ako Blue Tree, not the one on Kapi‘olani Blvd!

If coming down Ala Moana Blvd, turn onto Keawe St.

The entrance to a garage is on your left immediately after the turn. This lot offers 4 hours of FREE parking. Take a photo of your license plate and scan the QR code at the front counter for validation.

The large SALT garage managed by Metro is on the right side of Keawe St. Blue Tree does NOT validate for the SALT garage. Use this only if you plan to visit other SALT businesses for validation.

Nikki is hosting! See you there!

KAHALA MAAAAAAALL TOMORROW!

Posted on by Mitchell

Finally!

Thursday night your Honolulu Silent Book Club rides again!

Kahala Mall. In front of the Whole Foods Market. Look for two hippos perched atop a book on the big round table if it’s not raining. Nearby (possibly at the tables under the eaves) if it is raining,

BUT I DARE IT TO RAIN!

Although there are lots of food and drink options, there’s no pressure to spend money. Lots of free parking. Decent bathrooms.

We’ll have a book exchange table (if no rain). Bring a few or take a few or whatever. We don’t have rules.

Bring something to read! Physical books, ebooks, audiobooks, or even textbooks!

It can get a little noisy, so bring noise-canceling ear things if that bothers you. Baron donated foam earplugs, which I’ll bring if I can find them.

We’ll say hi and chat for a while at 6, then take a voluntary group photo (someone remind Mitchell to do the group book photo this time). Then we’ll read quietly for an hour. At 7:30, stick around and chat, keep reading, or call it a night!

Can’t. Wait. To. Read. With you. FINALLY!

Kawaikuiiiiiii!

Posted on by Mitchell

Come hang out and finally get through that to-read pile!

Kawaikui Beach Park is on the far edge of Aina Haina going east, practically the last thing before Niu Valley. It has free parking, shady trees, and a (public park) restroom.

If the parking is full, maybe wait a few minutes to see if anyone leaves, and if not, the closest neighborhood parking is on Kirkwood, which is a 7- to 10-minute walk from the beach park.

Gina is hosting! Look for her in a shady spot on the Waimanalo side of the park (the left side as you’re facing the ocean)!

Bring snacks and drinks if you want. Bring a chair or beach towel and perhaps some sunscreen. Bring your physical books, ebooks, audio books, textbooks, comic books, or whatever!

We’ll chat a little, take a voluntary group photo, then read for about an hour, and then chat a little more. Socializing is totally optional, of course! Please add your name to our email list (if you’re not on it).
