Join us for a cosy and intimate book club where we’ll chat about The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer. Hosts Kireth and Leeza will facilitate a fun, thoughtful discussion with some pre-prepared questions to keep the conversation flowing.

Keep an eye out on the Mood Reader Instagram – we’ll post some of the questions a few days ahead of our meet up to get you thinking.

Tickets are $20 which includes a beer, wine, soft drink, lemon lime bitters or other drink from the bar (anything excluding cocktails to keep things within budget!)

What to expect

Arrive from 12pm to grab a drink and catch up or introduce yourself to the other book clubbers. We'll be upstairs, in the booths section.
We’ll run the book club discussion from 12.30pm–1.30pm. We're a small book club, with two tables of up to 8 people, so that everyone has a chance to share their thoughts. This is everyone’s time to rave about what they loved about the book and what they disliked. This is a safe space and all opinions on the book are respected and welcome.
Our event will end at 1.30pm, but you’re welcome to stick around and grab more drinks or food.

Who is this for?

Anyone who loves reading and wants to meet others in a calm, casual environment. Readers of all genders, cultures, different identities and backgrounds are welcome. We’re a book club that brings curious readers in Sydney together. Book clubbers discover compelling books, share meaningful conversations and build lasting friendships.

Book synopsis

EXCITING OPPORTUNITY:
Caretaker urgently needed. Three days of work. Competitive pay. Serious applicants ONLY.

Macy Mullins can’t say why the job posting grabbed her attention—it had the pull of a fisherman’s lure, barbed hook and all—vaguely ominous. But after an endless string of failed job interviews, she's not exactly in the position to be picky. She has rent to pay, groceries to buy, and a younger sister to provide for.

Besides, it’s only three days’ work…

Three days, cooped up in a stranger’s house, surrounded by Oregon Coast wilderness.

What starts as a peculiar side gig soon becomes a waking nightmare. An incomprehensible evil may dwell on this property—and Macy Mullins might just be the only thing standing between it, and the rest of humanity.

Getting there

Newtown Hotel is an 8-minute walk from Newtown Train Station. There is a bus stop just 60 metres away on King Street.

Please be aware that we will be taking photos/videos for marketing activity during the event. Further permission will be sought for any imagery where you would be identifiable.
