No homework. No half-finished guilt. No idea what's inside the cover.

Just you, a mystery book, and a room full of people starting page one together.

Welcome to The First Page Club — a brand new kind of book club from Book Vendi, launching for Book Lovers Day at 25hours Hotel The Olympia.

Here's how it works: you arrive, you settle in, and you unwrap your very own signed mystery read — no title, no author, no idea what genre until the wrapping comes off. Then, together, as a room, you begin reading. No pre-reading required. No spoilers to dodge. Just the shared thrill of starting a brand new story at exactly the same moment as everyone around you.

Your ticket includes:

3 signed sports romance novels!

- Motorcyle racing x fake dating x team owners' son x protective hero
- AFL star x rebound scheme x brother's teammate x forced proximity
- Hockey star x second chance x childhood crush x dark romance
Tea, coffee, pastries and fruit
Still and sparkling water
A room full of fellow readers to start the story with

When: Sunday 20th Sept, 10.30am to 12.30pm
Where: 25hours Hotel The Olympia (The Odeon)

Come solo and leave with new book friends, or bring your reading buddy — either way, you'll walk out with a new book, a new memory, and the start of a story you didn't see coming.
