Who are we?
We’re a bunch of book besties in Darwin yapping about books!
Book Besties is a welcoming space where book lovers can come together, in an easy going environment, and talk about books. We embrace the perfectly imperfect ones, the spicy ones and celebrate diversity in our monthly book club picks.
Think fun events, yummy cocktails and all the book-ish merch you could dream of.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a welcoming space where book lovers can come together and yap away about books. We will embrace the perfectly imperfect ones, the spicy ones and celebrate diversity in our monthly picks.
Each month there will be a book selection and a get together at the end of the month to discuss the read (and any other gems you’ve found along the way!) over a coffee or a spicy marg 😉🙌🏽
Think casual, cute, FUN!!!!! Not stale, dry and serious.
How Does This Whole Thing Work?
-
Each month we pick a book (fantasy, spice, strong women… you get it)
-
You read it. Or don’t. It’s honestly fine.
-
We meet up IRL at a local spot, drink wine, and chat about it.
-
Everyone’s welcome. Come solo, bring a mate, just show up
Book Club Pick - July
The Conditions of Will by Jessie Hastings
London-based Georgia Carter, professional lie-detector and body-language savant, has long been estranged from her infuriating, close-minded, wealthy South Carolina family. After a falling-out years ago, the chasm runs deep between the black sheep - Georgia and her gay, alcoholic brother - and their parents and elder siblings. But when their father dies suddenly, Georgia returns to the States for the funeral ... where she comes face-to-face with Sam Penny, her brother's AA sponsor.
Amid the tensions, dramas and revelations of the family reunion, Georgia and Sam are instantly drawn to each other.
However, Georgia's brother also harbours feelings for Sam, and the last thing Georgia wants to do is hurt the only family she's ever really had.
When their father's will reveals a surprising bequest to a mysterious stranger, Georgia's ability to read people becomes crucial in unravelling her father's hidden past. The delicate balance within the family teeters, and secrets - both old and new - threaten to push them beyond the breaking point.
There are only so many cracks a damaged family can take before it shatters.
