Queer Womxn & Sapphic Speed Dating
Where better than a bookshop to meet the well-read womxn of your dreams?
Grab your favourite book (or current read!) and bring it along to our speed dating event to connect with other bookish babes over your shared love for reading. We'll be running three-minute rounds to chat before it's time to move on to the next person.
After the speed rounds, you can keep chatting upstairs in our cosy reading room (up a set of spiral stairs), or stay downstairs to introduce your new crush to your favourite titles.
Attendees are entitled to a 10% discount for purchases on the night 💚
Some (non-alcoholic) drinks and snacks will be provided.
Where: Amplify Bookstore, 55 Peel St, West Melbourne (Wurundjeri land)
When: 6.30–8.30pm, Monday 9th February
Choose Your Own Adventure Singles' Night
Choose your own adventure:
☑️ Make a new friend(s)
☑️ Meet a cutie(s)
☑️ Exchange contact details to see them again some time
Word on the street is, having a boyfriend is uncool right now (not that you should let one op-ed writer dictate your life). Buuuuut, bookstores are famously a top tier meet-cute venue — platonically and romantically — so come on by to meet your new favourite person!
Whether you want to find your new boo, or to make a new friend, we have space for you. There's no pressure to leave with a valentine. Come on your own or with a friend, and see where the night takes you!

Intentional Reading Log
The perfect companion for your reading 💚
If you've been looking to go analogue with your reading tracker but forget to carry around a notebook for your thoughts, this is perfect for you.
Loosely inspired by The Story Graph, our Reading Log was made to be a physical record of your personal thoughts and reading habits and thoughts, as well as a quick overview of the book itself.
Designed to prompt you to read intentionally and diversify your reading, our Reading Log is a compact, low-commitment way to track your reading.
Printed on a light but sturdy stock, these slips will hold up to being shuffled around your book as a bookmark, without being too stiff and heavy if you stick it in your journal instead.
Palestinian voices
Profits from the sale of Palestinian books will be donated to Palestine Australia Relief and Action (PARA).
Amplify Book Club
A monthly bookish meet up at Amplify 💚
Join us for a cosy and reflective evening in our reading room! Come ready to chat about our latest read and make new bookish friends.
Book club will be held from 6pm on the last Thursday and Friday of each month, with the book of the month alternating between fiction and non-fiction. As always, we aim to read widely across genres and topics, so there will be a range of options for every reader as the months go on.
The book club is for everyone to share and contribute their ideas, with facilitators present to help guide the night and break the ice (and participate!).
Our reading room has a limited capacity so tickets are capped to reflect this. If you can no longer make it, please let us know so that we can cancel your ticket and offer the spot to someone else.
