Our launch event sold out in just over 24 hours (!!), and with so many of you on the waitlist, we didn’t want to wait until September to meet you. So, we’re opening up a second August meet-up. Same book, same goodie bags, same vibe, just a little more intimate, hosted at one of our favourite Sydney wine bars.

Glitter Gel Pen Book Club: Launch Event 2.0

Welcome to Glitter Gel Pen Book Club — a Sydney meet-up for like-minded girlies who want to romanticise their lives, read sugary novels, and yap about them over a glass (or two) of natty wine. We’re here for the “frivolous” feel-good fiction — a space to unapologetically enjoy and discuss books beyond 19th-century literary classics. So if you’re in your twenties or thirties, craving a bit of escapism and love a rom-com with your rosé in an aesthetic setting, welcome to your new favourite cal invite.

Event Details:

When: Thursday, 14 August, 6:30-8:30 pm
Where: P&V Paddington
Book: Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood (affiliate link)
