2 snippets from Reading Together, purposely left without music. HOW cosy. A lot of the time is spent in silence and reading, and then suddenly naturally these conversation magic times pop up.

I’d love to know if you’ve gone to Reading Together events? What did you especially love? Always looking for ways to make my events even cosier and more personal.

So many people came to SIT AND READ AND TALK?????

I’m delighted!!!

Realizing how many different countries we had I wrote them all down to not forget. Diversity makes the conversations all the more interesting.
Estonia, Portugal, Mexico, Canada, Ghana, Armenia, France, USA, Kazakhstan, Panama ❤️

Today’s location was canceled a few hours before and I panicked, having no way to let everyone coming know, because I didn’t know who’s coming. I’ve intentionally kept the event super chill so it wouldn’t be stressful for people to join, but now the “no registration needed” bit me in the butt. So I’ll make registration for next events (not mandatory) & I’ll make a WhatsApp group to share the info of upcoming events and changes. Send me your number if you want to be added!

Thanks from one very very very grateful girl,
Avely

I created a free library with Telliskivi Creative City. It’s now open 24/7 in Telliskivi between Fika and Nihe. Everyone is so welcome to come and take multiple books, leave books, browse.

Thank you Keit Pajust + @loomelinnak for a very stress free collaboration. Honestly can recommend working with them.

Thank you to 50+ people who have donated books, I have hundreds.

Thank you fellow book instagram people for writing “blind date with a book” descriptions.

Thank you @couchjournal for being such a trooper and helping me set up and do the library opening. My bestie and husband helped too.

Thank you for everyone already using the free library, it’s for all of you to enjoy!!

3 people came and if was DELIGHTFUL. A lot of reading & then a lot of yapping about books, series, and movies.

My heart is so happy😌

my fellow readers really came through and were excited to join in my blind dates with a book thing!! so now the upcoming free libraries will have a more diverse mystery selection, much more cool than when I would’ve written them all on my own 🔥

Ps: if you want to write a desc too, DM me!

(The song name ‘dreams’ is fitting. My dream is to work with books and bring reading closer to people!!)

Have you written a blind date with a book desc?

In a very me way, it’s not enough to just open free libraries (opening in Aug in Tallinn!!), I want to add things to make reading more exciting. Like blind date with a book!!!!!

I texted 7 fellow readers with pictures of the 250 books I’ve been donated & asked if they’d want to choose 1-2 books and write descriptions. They all said yes❤️ I’ll wrap the books and add what they wrote along with a genre and their instagram.

If you’d like to join, please do and text me!!! I put pics of the books that’ll go to the free libraries.
