The Pleasure Shelf with Singer Paris Paloma

From the award-winning, sell-out live event series, Sex Talks: London's hottest new book club, The Pleasure Shelf. For people who treat books like lovers.

In this special edition of The Books That Shaped Me, singer-songwriter Paris Paloma will share the books have informed her worldview as an artist, a reader, and a feminist, unpacking the stories that have stitched together her creative universe, and helped her find language for grief, rage, love, and resistance.

We’ll also look at how these works have fed into her songwriting, including her new single Good Boy (featuring Emma Thompson), which dismantles the hollow scripts of masculinity while asking men to imagine another way.

Just as feminist writers from Audre Lorde to Simone de Beauvoir challenged the systems around them, Good Boy channels that same defiance into song, offering the kind of anthem today’s world so urgently needs.

✨ What’s included:

• Intimate conversation with Paris in one of London’s most beautiful venues
• Coffee + refreshments served all morning
• Curated book selection chosen by Paris, available to buy
