Books & Bites - a bookish dinner for women in Melbourne (August)
About the event
You love books. Your friends…not so much 😬 Or maybe they read, just not the way you do.
Either way, you've been looking for your people — and this is where they are.
📚 Busy with Books is hosting another one of our monthly Melbourne bookish dinners: good Italian food, good conversation, and a table full of women who actually want to talk about what they've been reading.
We're gathering at [Il Mercato Centrale](https://www.mercatocentrale.com.au/) — Melbourne's beautiful Italian food hall in the CBD (close to Southern Cross) — where everyone orders what they fancy from the stalls, and we spend the evening doing what we love most: Talking about books. (And eating. Obviously 💁🏼♀️)
What to expect:
• A relaxed, informal dinner • Great food from Il Mercato Centrale (your order, your tab) • A small goodie to take home • Good conversation with women who get it • A cap of 10 guests to keep it intimate
We won't have a set book, so there's no pressure or homework. Just show up, order something delicious, and talk books with strangers who are about to become your favourite reading friends.
Your ticket secures your spot and helps us keep building BWB events in Melbourne.
Can't wait to meet you 📚
