    Description goBooked by the Pool is your excuse to slow down this summer.

  • Poured & Bound: Boozy Book Club

    At this month's Poured & Bound Boozy Book Club, we're taking a look at internal classics!

    ​Bring a classic novel from another country that you loved (or one you're ready to pass on) and leave with a new literary adventure. From Japan to Nigeria, Brazil to South Korea, France to Chile, we'll be swapping stories that have shaped readers across generations and cultures.

  • Open Ended : A Storytelling Night

    Open Ended is back and this time with our iconic Hateration theme. Think less “toxic negativity” and more playful honesty, cultural commentary, and collective venting in a room full of people who just get it. We’re creating space to laugh, unpack modern life, overshare a little, and connect through the things we secretly all think.re

  • Leave Your Mess at Home: A Conversation with Tolani Akinola

    ​We're sitting down with Tolani for a conversation about the book, her path to writing it, and what it's meant to bring this story into the world.

Fifth Edit is more than a book club. It’s about creating unpretentious experiences for book lovers to come together.

It’s a nod to process over perfection — to experimentation, revision, and trying new ways of building community. Join monthly events like:

  • Book dinners

  • Sip & Reads

  • Literary Tastings

  • Socials

  • Book swaps & more
