This utterly stunning book has been around for a while but has recently become available in paperback at a much kinder price point.

We *love* this book and if you love hiking you will be obsessed with this beauty. Not just pretty pictures, an awesome guide too!
Also, it's the perfect gift for your hiking loving friend that is impossible to buy for!

🔚 Just Read 'The World Beneath Her Feet' by
Oh my goodness, what to say about this beautiful book other than I am bereft its over!!! As usual, Holly's ability to capture time and place puts you right in the story, feeling everything, experiencing everything you're reading. Characters no longer feel fictional - which is a problem when you have to say goodbye to them 🥺 Holly, I'd like to know if you are already an expert on every subject you've covered in your novels, or if the writing of them has created the expert in you. Either way seriously impressive!
Don't miss this one coming in September! 💛

🔛 Currently reading, a complete change of pace, as is required when you have a large book hangover 😆 Loving this dystopian / surveillance state, enemies to lovers from .wolfe Looking forward to the ending which is apparently meant to be mind-altering 😃

🔜 Okay, I am seeing this man's name everywhere at the moment! Never read a LitRPG (Literary Role-Playing Game) but, this one promises to be fun and entertaining, so why not! Anyone read it?

A little look at the fantastic range of non-fiction titles that have recently come through the door.

New book alert 🚨

After giving us the courage to be disliked, will now teach us to be content with our ordinary selves -

"At one time or another, everyone has hoped that they are different to everyone else – that they are somehow special. Beneath that desire lies a constant, anxious comparison with others, which prevents happiness without us even realising. How, then, can we free ourselves from this cycle of restless competition and find a new way to thrive?

In his inspiring new book, Ichiro Kishimi explores a way of living that will free you from your unease, improve your confidence and help you live a happy life. Rather than striving to be ‘better’ than everyone else, Kishimi reveals that focusing solely on your own potential and accepting who you are is the superpower you really need to succeed in work and in life."

It's been a while since our wonderful kid's room showed up on the feed!

So here she is in all her glory 🤩🍄✨🌈📖

We've been working hard this year to continue to add to our selection, in recent months you might have noticed the addition of a graphic novel section, more games and toys and a beefier looking non-fiction bookcase.

Always on the lookout for new titles & authors we've missed, so don't be afraid to make a request with one of our lovely booksellers!

June Bestsellers!!
On the 21st July 😬
Ah well, better late than never!

Honestly, it's really tricky putting together our bestseller stacks because well, they are always selling out!!

We LOVE to see 7 out of 10 in the stack are staff recommendations / hand sells 🫶👌

Also, at some point can we have a discussion about whether its 'bestsellers', 'best sellers' or 'best-sellers'?? What's your pick?😆

A lovely visit from the gorgeous .kelly.white to sign copies of her ripper debut novel 'Billie King' 🫶🩷💜💛

If you haven't picked up a copy yet then what are you waiting for?

Seriously, it's an Aussie Western about 3 take no s**t Sheila's and their faithful horse companions out for revenge against the patriarchy in the beautiful high country of Australia. What's not to love!

Thank you for Anzac biccies that are *the* perfect combination of chewy and crunchy. I may or may not have eaten the entire plate for my lunch 🤫😉😆
