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!

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! ✨

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!

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!

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).

Each event gets its own post, with all the info you need, or check out the website (honolulusilentbook.club) for this list with details!

Disoriented
Discombobulated
Dismal
Disorganized

Don’t mean to disrespect you!

Dis month’s schedule will be up late Wednesday night.
Sorry, everyone.

Ready to escape the noise? We’re heading back to the Hawaii State Library for another round of glorious, uninterrupted reading. Whether you’re tackling that thick classic or a breezy beach read, there’s a chair (and a vibe) waiting for you!

Thursday, May 7
5:00 PM – 6:50 PM

The Hawaii State Library (First floor, Language, Literature, and History section).

Once you walk in, head to the left wing and go straight back. You’ll find Emily the Librarian holding down the fort for us!

Sort-of schedule (we’re flexible and may not stick to it exactly):

5:00 – 5:30: Mix, mingle, and flex those book covers! We’ll do some quick voluntary photos to show off what everyone is reading.

5:30 – 6:30: The “Quiet” part of the Silent Book Club. One solid hour of pure literary bliss.

6:30 – 6:50: Wrap up, final thoughts, or a little more chatting before the library closes its doors at 7:00.

Parking:

Metered spots are available all around the library.

Street parking becomes free at 6:00 PM.

The Iolani Palace lot is super close and secure. It also becomes free at 6:00, but they lock the gates then! Don’t panic—if you need to bail before 7:00, just flag down a security guard and they’ll let you out.

Forget your book? No sweat! You’re literally in a giant building filled with them. Grab something off the shelf and maybe even take a new friend home with your library card.

Let’s get those pages turning! See you there?

Bring a friend! The more the merrier!
