📚 THURSDAY X READ ROOM: THE BOOKISH TAKEOVER 📚

Where literature meets date night.

Put down the swiping apps and pick up a cocktail (and maybe a chapter or two). Thursday’s teaming up with The Read Room for an evening that’s all about words, wit, and real-world chemistry.

On Wednesday 4th December, join hosts Kya & Sophia at the effortlessly cool Red Light cocktail bar for a night that blends book club energy with Thursday’s signature social chaos. Think ice-breaker questions, a live reading from a special guest author (TBC), and a room full of singles who actually know how to hold a conversation.

✨ What to expect:

📖 Doors open at 7 PM: settle in, grab a drink, and let our lit-themed icebreakers do the hard work.

🎧 DJ on the decks, Kya & Sophia working the room.

📚 8 PM: our guest author takes the stage for a live reading.

💬 8:30 PM: Q&A session: the floor (and mic) is yours.

🖊️ 9 PM: book signings, more cocktails, more flirting.

💃 Then? DJ back on, lights down, words optional.

This isn’t your average book club… it’s Thursday, so expect charm, mischief, and maybe even a plot twist or two 😉

🎁 Your ticket includes a free copy of the featured author’s book, signed and ready to take home — perfect for showing off on your coffee table
