F.A.Q.

What is Speed Book Blitz?

It’s a fun event where you chat informally with other people about your favourite book(s), one person at a time.

How does it work?

You have about 1-2 minutes to chat with another participant about your favourite book(s).
When you’re both done, one of you moves one seat over and you both get to talk to a different person! Round-robin style!
