Why do dating apps get all the flak? 🥲 As if meeting someone through a screen is somehow less romantic than locking eyes in an overpriced bar or getting set up by an aunty who still thinks “chemistry” means zodiac signs. 🤭

A dating app is just a tool, a medium. Like letters once were. Or Orkut posts. Or missed connections in a bookstore (in a wishful world). What matters is *who* you find, not how.

At Bookmark, we’ve made it easier (and more fun) for readers across the globe to find people who get their taste: in books and in banter. Your story deserves a better start. Give it a spin 🌀

P.S. Her name is Rama Duwaji. She’s a Syrian illustrator based in Brooklyn.

This isn’t a book club. It’s a reader’s meet-up! 🙌🏼

Come, unwind on a weekday with an hour of silent reading, followed by heartfelt conversations at the cosy heritage gallery, . Lose yourself in the pages of your current book or explore something new from our set. After that, we won’t sit and dissect a book but rather exchange fun stories about books you magically got your hands on, libraries you’ve sneaked around in, books you’ve hidden from parents, and more!

What’s in store?:
💠 Strictly, no exchanging names until asked
💠 One complete hour of silent reading
⁠💠 Prompt cards to get your memory racing down the reading lane
⁠💠 Giveaway bookmarks for everyone
💠 Free Bookmark premium subscription worth INR 149
⁠💠 Brews and bites can be ordered from the menu at the in-house cafe

🗓️ 16 April, Wednesday, 7 PM (please arrive on time, as we are all pretty early to bed for an earlier rise)
📍 Sabha, Shivaji Nagar, Bengaluru
🎫 Entry fee Rs. 320 per head

Your hosts for the evening:
