All-Women Book Swap

Ladies! We’re so excited to be back with another book swap! ✨📚

Join us for our All-Women Book Swap on Wednesday, September 9th from 6:30-9 PM at Central Machine Works 💖 Bring 2–6 books you’re ready to part with and swap them for fresh reads from other amazing ladies 💕

💌 Come solo (most do!) or bring a friend! Whether you’re new to Austin or just looking for fellow book-loving girls, this is your sign to meet your people 💞👯‍♀️

🥳 How It Works

From 6:30–7:30PM, we’ll check you in, give you a randomly assigned colored wristband labeled with how many books you brought, and you’ll place your books in the genre sections 📚✨

However many you bring = however many you get to take home (max 6) 😍

📚 The Swap

The swap officially kicks off from 7:30-9PM ⏰💃

To keep things fair and fun, we’ll be swapping in 4 color groups 🌈

Before we start swapping, we’ll randomly draw the order of the colors 🎲

(think: red ❤️, green 💚, blue 💙, orange 🧡)

👉 First color drawn gets first pick and has 3 minutes to grab 1 book ⏳📖

👉 Then the next color goes and so on until all groups have had a turn

After everyone goes once, we’ll reverse the order 🔄 so the last group gets to go first next 👀✨

We’ll repeat this for 3 rounds total which means lots of chances to snag the books you really want 😍📚 You’ll grab ONE book per round (we’ll explain the rules before swapping & give reminders!)

✨ After the 3 rounds, the space opens up for everyone to keep browsing, swapping, and finding those last perfect picks 💎

💗 As always, we welcome ALL women no matter your background, age, or walk of life. ATX Girl Hangouts is a safe, inclusive space to meet new friends and make real connections 🤍

Let’s get you swapping stories & making new memories 📚💖
