Reader Events: Speed Date a Book and The Reading Cure

We’re hosting two fun and free events at the Bluecoat (School Lane, Liverpool) next Thursday evening (14^th October) and next Sunday evening (18^th October) as part of the Chapter and Verse Literature Festival.

The events are free but you will need to book tickets. Tickets are available from the Bluecoat (0151 702 5324 – or drop in to the box office) so do please book yours soon to ensure you and your book get a space!

Speed Date a Book

7.30-8.30pm, Thursday 15th October, in the bar at the Bluecoat – free!

For this event, The Reader Organisation is asking you to come along with your favourite book or poem and all the reasons why you love it to see if you can find your perfect reading match. We’re acting as the matchmaker, hosting ‘Speed Date a Book’ to bring together literary lovers to share their favourite reads, meet fellow readers and perhaps find that all important perfect partner, be it in text or human form.

Are you able to be there with your favourite read?

Join us in the bar at the Bluecoat from 7.30pm, armed with your favourite read (be it poem or novel) and get ready to tell people why it’s so great (and hopefully find a perfect match).

The Reading Cure: Chapter and Verse
