Smoke & Pages
Hookah. Book swaps. Vibes. Reading just got a whole lot more interesting.
Reading doesn't have to be boring. Smoke & Pages is an elevated evening for readers who like their pages with a side of good energy - think hookah lounges meet literary community, with a happy hour to ease you in.
Here's how the night flows:
6–8PM | Happy Hour Arrive, settle in, and sip something good. This is your time to mix, mingle, and scope out the book swap table before things get going.
Book Swap Bring a book you loved (or one you're ready to let go of) and leave with something new. All genres welcome — romance, thrillers, lit fic, self-help, spicy reads, you name it.
Smoke & Read This is the vibe. Grab your hookah, find your spot, and just read. No pressure, no presentations, no book reports. Just you, a good book, and good company.
What to bring:
1–2 books to swap (optional but encouraged)
A book to read that night
Good energy only
What's available:
Hookah
Happy hour drinks (6–8PM)
