Read Me, B*Tch | Queer Book Club – Syd

Hot takes, plot twists, and cheeky midweek page-turning with your chosen family!
Swap scrolling through apps for turning actual pages! Welcome to our cosy midweek book club, the ultimate low-pressure space for local gays, gals, and theys to connect over a shared love of reading.
Whether you devoured the whole book in one sitting, skimmed the final chapter on your knock-off commute, or barely made it past page five, there is strictly zero reading-quiz pressure here. We are far more interested in juicy character red flags, hot takes, and warm banter than formal literary snobbery.
Feeling a bit nervous about coming on your own? Most people come solo, so you will be in fantastic company from the second you walk through the door. Our host will be right there to welcome you into the group and get the yaps flowing.
Come solo. Come curious. Come exactly as you are.

Members-only, no plus ones.
RSVPs close 7 days before the event (unless otherwise specified) or when the event reaches capacity. This allows us to confirm bookings with venues, finalise numbers, and deliver the best possible experience for everyone attending.
Please note: The check-in window for all Sydney Gay Social Club events is 30 minutes from the advertised start time. Hosts are responsible for welcoming members, making introductions, and getting the event underway, so if you arrive significantly early or late they may not be available to check you in. Arriving within the check-in window helps ensure the best experience for both yourself and other members.
Your host’s contact number will be included in your event reminder email and should only be used on the day of the event if you need assistance locating the group or require support during the event. For all other enquiries, including bookings, cancellations, membership, or general support, please contact our Support Team via https://socialclubsupport.group/.
$10 no-show fee applies – The tea will be spilt, the plot will thicken, and your seat will be waiting!
