RSVP Readers

A book club for lovers of contemporary + literary fiction, good food, and great convos

RSVP Readers was born from two sisters’ realisation: our best conversations happened around the books we’d been recommending to each other and finally read after throwing them onto our ever growing tbr lists. We wanted to create a consistent, physical space where those saved titles finally get cracked open. This is a space for women in their 20s + 30s to dive into contemporary stories that hold a mirror to our lives. Whether it’s a polarizing debut or a critically acclaimed read, we’re here for the "aha" moments and the heated debates that only a good story (and a great croissant) can spark. Between work deadlines and digital noise, it’s easy to miss out on those slow, offline moments. We swap screens for paperbacks and the group chat for a seat at the table. For us, the "RSVP" is more than just a headcount - it’s a commitment to showing up for yourself, your reading goals, and new friends.

Meet Vanessa: a book obsessed foodie and one of your RSVP Readers co-hosts ;) · Sydney

By day, Vanessa is an accountant navigating the world of numbers, so it only makes sense that she escapes to books in her free time. When the weekend hits, she’s all about the "slow” - you’ll usually find her at a local café with an iced matcha latte and a paperback in hand (borrowed from the library because she’s financially responsible like that 😉). She started this club to bring back the art of the long, offline conversation and to turn "saved" café pins into real-life meetups with fellow readers.
