18.01.2022 If chills down your spine sound good during these humid days that just keep coming, Melbourne, then maybe a spot of chilling crime fiction is the answer! This new release from acclaimed mystery author Tana French could be the ticket: A missing boy. A small town. Cal Hooper thought a fixer-upper in a remote Irish village would be the perfect escape. After twenty-five years in the Chicago police force, he just wants to build a new life in a pretty spot where nothing much happ...ens. But then a local kid comes looking for his help. His brother has gone missing, and no one, least of all the police, seems to care. Cal wants nothing to do with any kind of investigation, but somehow he can't make himself walk away. Soon Cal will discover that even in the most idyllic small town, secrets lie hidden, people aren't always what they seem, and trouble can come calling at his door. Take advantage of our air conditioned store and check this one out for yourself - or, get in touch with our team on 96630900 or at [email protected].

11.01.2022 Summer is coming and so is cricket season! There's still time to catch up on some quality cricket reading before you immerse yourself in the one-day internationals later this month, which is just as well because there's a couple of great recent releases - and a few you may have missed during lockdown! Start with something a little different: Eleven Bats by Anthony 'Harry' Moffitt - an extraordinary memoir about Harry's decades of service in the SAS, about the toll that war t...akes on soldiers and their loved ones, and how the game of cricket can break down borders in even the most desperate of circumstances. The pantheon of Australia’s greatest cricketers is as mottled as the crowds that cheer them on. But who is the greatest of them all? Dan Leibke will let you know in The 50 Greatest Australian Cricketers! Lost for words when it comes to your favourite sport? The Little Book of Cricket encapsulates the often hilarious, sometimes sombre and occasionally downright bizarre quotes as the greats of the game. No Spin is the last word on Shane Warne’s extraordinary cricketing career and his life off the pitch, and is now available in a small, easy to read paperback. Lastly, Mike Brealey (English ex-Captain) has the final word on the Spirit of Cricket and how the notion of a 'good spirit' can be applied more broadly than simply in cricket or sport. Read one, or read 'em all - our team can assist! The store is open daily, or give us a call on 96630900, email [email protected], or Click & Collect via the Dymocks website See more

11.01.2022 March has delivered us some amazing new Australian fiction (check out today's stories for some reading inspiration!), amongst them a debut novel that has become one of Elsie's favourite 2021 reads: 'This is an uproariously funny, gritty Aussie read - I was floored by this debut. It deals with death, sex and grief just brilliantly... and made me want to call my mum every ten seconds!' New Animal by Ella Baxter is available now in our Australian Fiction section if you're looking instore - Click&Collect from our store via the Dymocks website, or get in touch with us on 96630900 or at [email protected].

11.01.2022 There may have been threats of severe fan-girling during a (socially distanced!) visit from Jane Harper today to sign her latest book, The Survivors!

09.01.2022 Apart from falling in love with the Christmas vibe of this gorgeous cover, we're totally falling for the second book in Philippa Gregory's Fairmile series, Dark Tides. A rich, historical saga following the fortunes of a family across England, Italy and America, this story begins in Restoration London in years after the Civil War when society revels of hedonistic pleasures following the restitution of the monarchy. An impoverished family clings to a failing business, their fortunes at the whim of a wealthy aristocrat, a beautiful widow and the need to unravel a web of deceit. Sink into this wonderful historical adventure - give our team a call on 96630900, email at [email protected] or Click & Collect via the Dymocks website.

05.01.2022 Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue. Before he was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone... If you fell in love with Holly Black's enchanting The Folk of the Air Trilogy, then you'll find this new Young Adult arrival irresistible. How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories gives delicious glimpses in to the background of Cardan, the high king of Elfhame, giving him the focus of this story, rather than being told ...from the perspective of Jude, the human raised in his world who took the stage through the previous books of this magical trilogy. Each chapter reveals delightful illustrations, making this a real collector's item for fans of Holly Black's work. Magic one of these under your Christmas tree with a quick call or email to our staff, or arrange Click & Collect through the Dymocks website! See more

02.01.2022 Wednesday has rolled around again, and Penny's pick for the week is Katherine Rundell's The Explorer! 'Okay, this is a kids book (for 10-14yr olds) but I promise it’s a beautiful read for grown-ups, too. Following four children who are flying home to England when their plane crashes into the Amazon jungle! An epic adventure story of friendship and survival and belonging, this gorgeous and funny and moving book got me through a tough week of 2020 lockdown. In a week of blea...k and hard news for so many of us, this is perfect for anyone looking for a soft and lighthearted read. I laughed and got scared and got teary and felt every inch of its wholesomeness.' #pennysbookrec See more

01.01.2022 Rugby fans - The Storm Within is the read you've been waiting for about (and by) the most decorated Rugby League player of all time - Cameron Smith! This book maps his unique journey in the game: an extraordinary look into the biggest matches and biggest moments, Smith describes his career with great colour and candour, outlining what it takes to climb to the highest level in sport. Notoriously private throughout his career, The Storm Within exposes the life behind the legend as the man behind the mystery tells his story. We have limited copies on the shelf now that have been signed by Cameron himself, at a special Dymocks price! Drob by and grab one in person, or drop a line to our terrific staff on 96630900, or at [email protected].
