Paper Hearts Book Club
Meets on the second Thursday of the month at Paper Hearts Bookstore
408 East 21st Street
Each month we rotate reading a specific book or choose your own book on a specific theme! This is low stakes and meant to be a fun opportunity to discuss books with our community, not homework. We know life happens, so even if you aren’t able to finish a book for the month, feel free to come lend your voice and presence to our discussion!
Paper Hearts Bookstore is supporting this book club. If you order book club picks through Paper Hearts you receive 10% off. While it is not a requirement to buy from Paper Hearts, we do ask that you get book from library, borrow from a friend, or buy from other indie. By joining, you agree not to get the book from Amazon. When you buy a book from a local independent bookstore, you are directly supporting people in your community.
Check our calendar or our Facebook page to see what book/theme we are reading this month!

Silent Book Club
Meets on the last Monday of every month at 6:30PM at Pettaway Coffee
406 East 21st Street
We at Paper Hearts Bookstore believe reading is best with friends. We don’t want to leave out our introvert friends so we are pleased to host Silent Book Club! Bring your own book and settle in for 45-ish minutes of reading. Then we have 15-ish minutes of sharing about what we are reading and what are looking forward to reading. Don’t feeling like socializing? It’s okay to skip out on the share time- no judgement here. Coffee available for purchase, but we do ask that you arrive early to get your drink ordered. We appreciate Pettaway Coffee opening their doors to us! Hope to see you there!

Cookbook Club
Meets every other month ( odd number months) @ Sterling Market - 515 Shall Ave, Little Rock, AR
Each month we ask everyone to cook and bring a dish from the same cookbook (or from the same culinary theme). We meet with a chef from Sterling Market to discuss our dishes, the cookbook itself, and techniques we can take with us to make us all better cooks, no matter our skill level. And of course, we eat, drink, and be merry!
