Chapter One: The Girls Weekend
Did someone say book club weekend? Clear the TBR, silence your notifications and prepare to discuss your current fictional obsession with the seriousness it deserves. You’ll kick things off making your own bookmark, ready for whichever five-star read currently has you saying "just one more chapter", before heading out for bubbly on a rooftop and share plates by the river. Everyone takes home a bookmark, several new book recs and a TBR that has somehow gotten longer. Again. No regrets.

Bookmark This Weekend
Asking “what are you reading?” has never been a quick question with this group. There are recommendations to give, plot twists to unpack and very strong opinions about fictional people who, frankly, feel real enough to discuss at length. So when someone suggested turning the shared obsession into an entire weekend, this group chat didn't need convincing. Chapter One: The Girls Weekend brings it all together with your own chic Melbourne city apartment, a bookmark workshop that comes to you, bubbly on a rooftop and share plates by the river. Books have given you plenty to talk about over the years, but time with the girls who always get the reference deserves a permanent place on the reading list.
Check into your own chic Melbourne city apartment, drop the bags and get the drinks chilling before your My Ultimate artist host arrives with everything you need for your bookmark workshop. Whatever your shelves are stacked with, from epic fantasy and small-town romance to a little bit of everything, you can make a bookmark to match your reading personality. Whether the vibe is beads and bookish charms or pressed flowers, your host is there to help you bring it all together. And yes, we see you Kindle girls. We know that hasn't stopped you collecting physical books like they're going out of print tomorrow. Consider your new bookmark another cute addition to the shelf, ready for the hardback you absolutely did not need but somehow came home with anyway.
Bookmark complete, it's time for the costume change every good story needs. The mirror queue forms, outfits cover every available surface and the group consultation begins. One person changes her mind at the last second, everyone weighs in again and eventually you emerge ready for the next part of the night. Getting ready together is half the fun anyway. Music up, spritzes in hand and all your favourite people crammed around the same mirror? This is important cultural work.
Next, you're heading up. Our rooftop bar is all greenery and open sky, with the Melbourne skyline spread out around you. Your reserved area is waiting, along with a bottle of bubbly for the group to get the first toast underway. Importantly, there's also a discounted cocktail menu. Information we felt you should have. Settle in, order another round and let the catch-up do what it does best: start in one place, take six completely unnecessary plot twists and somehow end with everyone yelling “WAIT, WHAT?” This is exactly why the group chat will never quite compete with having the girls around one table.
The setting for your next chapter is our stunning waterfront bar, with city lights across the water. Your reserved table is waiting for the girls and their several stories still to tell, so let's get those stories flowing with a glass of bubbly for everyone. Then your share plates hit the table, because choosing one dish is about as realistic as choosing one favourite book. At some point someone will inevitably ask why you don't do this more often and fair question, really.
Back at the apartment, the night isn't over until the debrief is. Tomorrow there'll be coffee, new book recommendations to investigate and at least one “send me the name of that book you were talking about” message. Your new bookmark gets packed for home too, ready to take its place amongst the books already waiting patiently for their turn.
We’ve always believed the best girls weekends should feel like the people taking them, right down to the little details. A bookmark made by you, bubbly above the city, dinner by the river and plenty of time with the girls who always get the reference. The TBR will still be there when you get home. This chapter belongs to the girls.
