Reading Rhythms Queens: Books & Blankets

Join Reading Rhythms Queens for a relaxed Sunday morning in Astoria Park! 🌳

Before summer gently gives way to fall, enjoy a leisurely morning of books, conversation, and community overlooking the East River. Settle in on the lawn beneath the shade of a beautiful tree, where the city's industrial waterfront meets open green space.

About Reading Rhythms:
Reading Rhythms is a series of welcoming reading parties designed to make it easy for people to gather and read socially. We facilitate silent reading periods, as well as 1-on-1 breakouts, and group discussions to pull on the threads of the books that everyone is engaging with. Whether you're discovering a new favorite, exchanging recommendations, or simply enjoying the company of fellow readers, this is an invitation to slow down and savor the season together. In a world that can often feel devoid of interest and meaningful connection, we bring readers together to reconnect with our love of learning, to experience the wonder of beautiful venues and curated music, and to gather amongst all of the people who want to be in that very same room.

What to Bring:

• 📚 Your current book
• 🧺 A favorite blanket or beach towel for a cozy reading spot (pillows welcome!)
• ☕ Your favorite coffee, tea, or morning beverage
• 🥐 A brown bag breakfast or early lunch

Finding Us:
Enter Astoria Park from 23rd Road and follow the path down the hill toward the water. Look for us on the large lawn beneath the big tree, gathered on our signature Reading Rhythms plaid blanket, just to the right of the playground.

Please note that coffee and food options are not conveniently located near this area of the park, so we recommend picking up anything you'd like to enjoy before you arrive.

Bring a book, pack a blanket, and join us for a beautiful morning in the park. We can't wait to see you! 🌞

Community & App:
Our favorite conversations happen in the Reading Rhythms mobile app. Join us there → https://readingrhythms.app
