About this Event
This October, immerse yourself in the quieter side of the season. Hotel AKA Alexandria and Old Town Books invite you to a Silent Reading Party with a fall twist—an afternoon designed for book lovers who enjoy moody ambiance, seasonal cocktails, and time set aside just to read.
Join us on Saturday, October 18th, from 1:30–3:30 PM at Hotel AKA Alexandria’s a.lounge+bar. Settle in with your current read while live piano music drifts through the space with a slightly spooky edge, perfectly tuned to the season. Your ticket includes a festive cocktail or mocktail and light bites.
Arrive early at 1 PM to take part in our craft add-on with Relume, featuring a Charm Bookmark Workshop. Select from an array of charms—choose something subtle and timeless or lean into the spirit of the season with a darker, spookier design—and create a one-of-a-kind book accessory to take home. You’ll have the option to add this experience when purchasing your Silent Reading Party ticket.
Old Town Books will also be on-site with a curated selection of fall reads, from haunting tales to cozy autumn stories. Whether you bring your own book or discover something new, you’ll have the perfect companion for an atmospheric afternoon.
