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 - October
Katabasis by R.F. Kuang
Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek. The story of a hero's descent to the underworld.
Grad student Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become the brightest mind in the field of analytic magick.
But the only person who can make her dream come true is dead and – inconveniently – in Hell. And Alice, along with her biggest rival Peter Murdoch, is going after him.
But Hell is not as the philosophers claim, its rules are upside-down, and if she’s going to get out of there alive, she and Peter will have to work together.
That’s if they can agree on anything.
Will they triumph, or kill each other trying?
