Virtual attendance is an option.

Our Cozy Corners invite you to connect and indulge in all the ways you treat yourself outside of fitness. Join us for our first Literary Edition, a blind book date introducing you to authors flying under the radar. Attendance on both dates is preferred but not required, come to whichever you can, you will still be kept in the loop!

Part 1 - February 2 1pm-3pm at The Chai Spot 156 Mott St. (on the Lower East Side)

A get-to-know-you chat introducing you and your favorite book (have your fav. book details handy so you can talk about it) followed by a meet and greet with the blindfolded books. They’re wrapped up to hide the cover, author, and title, with a short blurb on the cover to pique your interest. You choose to read the one that speaks to you most (we may not all be reading the same book!) At the end, we reveal the book titles, authors, and the theme connecting them all and we’ll give you a list of places you can find the books. You will need to procure your own copy of the book you chose.

Part 2 - Mon. February 24 6pm-8pm at the Privately Owned Public Space (POPS) at 875 3rd Ave

A check-in to see how the read is going and sharing (without spoilers) what you’re appreciating about this story/author and what you’re struggling with. There may even be a surprise author joining the chat! Collectively decide on a wrap up date for these books.

Admission: $40
