About us
Welcome to Bangkok Book Club!
🐛📚 We are a friendly group of bookworms who gather once a month to chat about what we've been reading lately.
Come are you are and share your thoughts on whatever read you're currently enjoying. We welcome all genres, both fiction and non-fiction alike.
This is the perfect place to connect with fellow book lovers, discover new titles and even swap books.
What events can you expect?
- ☕️💬 Monthly Meetups: Every month, we meet on the long tables at IKEA Sukumvit café on a Saturday at 10:30 AM for coffee and bookish chats.
- 📚 Coffee to Cover: Each month we have a specific read, where we diver deeper into a discussion about a pre-selected book. These are hosted at Treehouse Café and have a limited number of sign ups.
- 🥞🖼️ Beyond the Books: We also host smaller, more intimate events throughout the month, like gallery visits, group brunches, book sale trips and more!
Ready to join the fun?

Here's the description from Goodreads:
The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story.There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine.
Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Center convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation’s imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii can’t resist writing back.
Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought?
Inspired by the real case of the convicted con woman and serial killer, "The Konkatsu Killer," Asako Yuzuki’s Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.
