Friendship Bracelets & Book Besties

Come make bookish friendship bracelets, swap book recs, and meet new reader friends! TICKETS ARE $5 TO COVER MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE EVENT AND STAFFING COSTS. Making friends as an adult is weird. So we’re making it slightly less weird... Join us for Friendship Bracelets & Book Besties, a cozy night at Shelf Indulgence designed for romance readers who want to meet new people without the pressure of a traditional mixer. Come alone. Seriously. We want you to. We’ll have a friendship bracelet bar filled with beads, letters, charms, and plenty of bookish inspiration. Make something for yourself, trade bracelets with someone you meet, talk about your favorite books, swap recommendations, and maybe leave with someone new to text the next time you need a bookstore date. We’ll have conversation cards and little ways to help break the ice throughout the night, but nothing is mandatory and nobody is getting forced into an awkward introduction circle. If you’re looking for a new book bestie, someone to go to events with, a future book club friend, or just an excuse to spend the evening around people who also think fictional relationships are a perfectly normal conversation topic, you belong here. ✨ Come alone or bring a friend ✨ Bracelet-making supplies provided ✨ All friendship levels welcome ✨ Introvert-friendly ✨ Romance readers of every kind welcome
