Whether it's your bookclub or you're looking to take the hassle out of choosing gifts for your family and friends, bookchats are a relaxed opportunity for your group to sit back and listen while we take you through a range of the latest and greatest books.  And (even better) attendees at our bookchats receive 10% off any book in the shop on the day of the bookchat.

To enquire about books please email bookclub@riverbendbooks.com.au

Seasonal Bookchats

Each winter and summer (in the lead up to Christmas) we hold a short series of evening bookchats on the deck with Riverbend's own Suzy Wilson.  These 'seasonal' bookchats are extremely popular, often selling out the day they are announced.  If you would like to be notified of the next series please join our email list.

Riverbend is one of Brisbane's best independent bookshops. 

We are open 7 days a week and late from Wednesday to Saturday nights.

Join our mailing list and keep up to date with Riverbend events and the best new books.
