Book lovers in Glasgow are set for a standout summer evening as Bookface brings its much-loved Sip & Swap series back to the city — this time with global bestselling author Lisa Jewell.
Taking place on Wednesday 1 July 2026 at Berlinkys, from 5.30-8.30pm, the Bookface Sip & Swap event promises a relaxed, sociable night built around great books, conversation and community. Guests will enjoy an intimate live conversation with Lisa Jewell, followed by a Q&A, giving readers the chance to hear directly from one of the most successful voices in contemporary fiction. Each ticket also includes a copy of her latest novel It Could Have Been Her.
Author Lisa Jewell
Known for her gripping, character-driven novels, Lisa Jewell has sold millions of copies worldwide and built a loyal readership drawn to her twist-filled storytelling and emotional depth.
The evening will also feature Bookface’s signature book swap, a highlight of every event with hundreds of titles available to browse and exchange. Guests are invited to bring up to four books, though it’s equally open to those who simply want to come along for the atmosphere, author chat and a glass of fizz.
Each ticket includes entry to the event, a drink on arrival and access to the author conversation, Q&A and book swap and a copy of It Could Have Been Her, making it as much a social night out as a literary one.
With previous events regularly selling out, early booking is strongly advised. Tickets available now via Eventbrite: eventbrite.co.uk/e/1985794687366?aff=oddtdtcreator
Bestselling author and Queen of beach reads, Sophie Gravia will also be at Bookface Sip & Swap this summer. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of fizz before an intimate in-conversation with the author, and will leave with a copy of her latest novel, Stars and Swipes. The evening also features a curated book swap, offering guests the chance to refresh their shelves with carefully chosen reads.
Sophie Gravia, the Glasgow-based author who built a loyal following turning dating chaos into comedy gold, is the perfect guest for a night that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Expect sharp observations, big laughs, and the kind of honesty that feels like a voice note from your funniest friend.
