Meet The Founder
Celeste Leon is the founder and president of the Nashville Book & Sip Club, a social club launched in April 2024 with a vision to build a vibrant community of women in Nashville. Through upscale book parties and socials, the club celebrates a shared love for reading while fostering a sense of belonging and connection. More than just a book club, it’s a space where women can dress up, come together, and feel their best while engaging in meaningful discussions about books they are passionate about. As a women’s empowerment advocate, Celeste is deeply committed to uplifting the female community and creating spaces where women can support, inspire, and elevate one another.
Good Books
From thought-provoking fiction to inspiring non-fiction, our book picks are selected by a member vote and are designed to engage, challenge and connect us.
Tasty Drinks
We gather in Nashville’s hottest venues, pairing our love for books with cocktails or coffee as we enjoy meaningful conversations.
Amazing Company
A perfect place for networking, we’re a community of women who uplift and inspire each other, one page and sip at a time.
Giving Back
As our members grow, our impact grows. We partner with local non-profits to give back to our Nashville community and inspire the future generation of readers.
What started as a small community has grown to over 1,500 women following our journey in Nashville. We host our signature Book Parties monthly, where our members come together to discuss our Book of the Month over cocktails or coffee. Our social club partners with diverse venues to host our events, as we explore our beautiful city together and highlight local businesses.

We encourage our members to submit book nominations every month based on our current genre! To select our book of the month, we hold a collective vote internally among our members. The book with the most votes is what we will read for the month. It is a democratic process and we love to have all of our members involved.

Our book parties are our monthly signature event! It’s a concept we invented—a unique blend of a book club meeting and a social night out! Picture this: great conversations, amazing vibes, tasty drinks, and, of course, good books. They take place the last week of each month. We are not your average book club; we’re an experience.
