Die With Zero: Books, Bites & BBQ 📚 by the Yarra

ChattyOpen-ended
Sat 5 Dec12:00am – 3:00am

Big ideas, shared bites & your next read

Die With Zero, leave with a full stomach and a borrowed book 📚🍢


After a lively first catch-up over ‘The Courage to Be Disliked’, we’re onto book two: Die With Zero by Bill Perkins!


Imagine how many books you’d read in a year once you find your kind of bookish freaks. Come for the BBQ, leave a little wiser, smarter & sassier 😂


Join us for a relaxed Yarra-side BBQ and book chat. What stayed with you, what did you question, and has it changed how you think about spending your time or money? No need to finish every page to join in.


📖 THE BOOK EXCHANGE

  • Bring a book you’ve read and are happy to lend. We’ll introduce our picks and exchange with someone interested.
  • Next time, share your takeaways, return the book and swap again if you like!
  • Lending is optional; agree on return arrangements with your borrowing buddy.

🥗 THE POTLUCK/ BBQ

  • Bring something to share: your signature dish, BBQ goodies, a bag of chips or a bottle of Coke. Culinary skills are optional.
  • Your best dad joke is also an acceptable contribution 😂 Pop what you’re bringing in the chat.

📅 Saturday 5 December 2026

🕚 11 am–2 pm

📍 Alexandra Gardens / Yarra riverfront

💰 Free to join


Come solo or with a friend. New faces and returning book buddies are equally welcome!


The exact meeting spot and weather plan will be shared in the chat closer to the day.


Good books, good company and hopefully nothing burnt except the sausages 😊

Meet the planner

A little creative, a little adventurous, and always curious about what’s next. You’ll find me painting, baking, planning my next trip or heading out for a walk or hike. I’m a foodie and coffee lover, a workout regular, and always up for some friendly competition over racquet sports. Add good banter, discovering new places and conversations that go beyond small talk, and I’m happy.
