I’ll be co-hosting a book swop together with Reine Cassandra from Sorry I’m Booked as well as Adeline Foo!
📚 Sorry I’m Booked presents: Book Swap – Encore Edition (35++)
💡 Theme: Second Chances (fiction only)
📅 Date: Saturday, 12 September 2026
🕑 Time: 2pm (arrival); 4pm (end)
📍 Venue: Exact venue will be confirmed upon successful registration
🎟️ Entry: Free!
🍲 Refreshments: Potluck-style – bring a dish or drink to share; we’ll eat as we swop
This edition is for the 35++ crowd – for those who’ve begun to recognise that the best stories, like the best things in life, only reveal their depth with time.
The session is themed around Second Chances. These can be works of fiction about second chances, second comings, returns, reinventions or characters and authors getting another shot at something. Bring a book that fits these ideas or even a text which you’re giving a second chance.
What to bring:
- A food or beverage item in one of these categories:
- Appetizers/salads/sides
- Savoury
- Sweet/desserts
- Alcoholic drinks
- Non-alcoholic drinks
- One wrapped fiction book (poetry, prose or plays) for the main swop which fits the theme of Second Chances. The wrapping doesn’t need to be too fancy – or it can be as fancy as you’d like! Your call.
Optional: Extra books to declutter or casually swop. You can also swop books available on the day, subject to availability
Come for the books and the conversation; I personally guarantee you’ll leave with something new to put on your bookshelf as well as something to talk about.
Please RSVP here only if you’re sure you can make it. Numbers are capped to fit the space, so every no-show means another genuine reader misses out.
Nevertheless, we understand completely if plans change. If that’s the case, please let us know ASAP so we can free up your ticket for the next person on the waitlist.
See you there!
