25.01.2022 Out Now. Repost @blackincbooks with @make_repost Happy publication day to WATSONIA, the comprehensive collection of Don Watson’s writing life.

21.01.2022 We had the lovely @kmildenhall pop into store today to celebrate her new book, The Mother Faul. So nice to meet you Kate, enjoy your Mornington Peninsula bookshop tour today! #farrellsbookshop #themotherfault #katemildenhall #morningtonpeninsula

21.01.2022 Max by Alex Miller- An astonishing, moving tribute to Alex's friend, Max Blatt, that is at once a meditation on memory itself, on friendship and a reminder to the reader that history belongs to humanity. Mantel Pieces by Hilary Mantel-... A stunning collection of essays and memoir from twice Booker Prize winner and international bestseller Hilary Mantel, author of The Mirror and the Light In 1987, when Hilary Mantel was first published in the London Review of Books, she wrote to the editor, Karl Miller, 'I have no critical training whatsoever, so I am forced to be more brisk and breezy than scholarly.' This collection of twenty reviews, essays and pieces of memoir from the next three decades, tells the story of what happened next. Constantly illuminating, always penetrating and often very funny, interleaved with letters and other ephemera gathered from the archive, Mantel Pieces is an irresistible selection from one of our greatest living writers.

20.01.2022 Shop online or over the phone for click & collect. Out Now- Broadcaster Jacinta Parsons was in her twenties when she first began to feel unwell the kind of unwell that didn’t go away. Eventually she got a diagnosis: Crohn’s disease. But knowing this wouldn’t stop her life from spiralling into a big mess of doctors, hospitals and medical disasters. With compelling candour, Jacinta trains a microscope on the unique challenges of living with an invisible condition. She lays bare the struggles with shame, loss of identity, the threat of mortality, and the profoundly complex relationships between the chronically ill and their own bodies, as well as with those around them. It’s a story of trying to fix an unfixable illness, getting beaten down then clawing back up, and how that experience can shape a life.

14.01.2022 Tales of adventure, misadventure, love and loss - this collection of non-fiction short stories from the Australian rock legend turned writer is vintage Jimmy. Outrageous, witty, warm and wise, Killing Time shares more than forty yarns reflecting an epic life - from an encounter with a soul legend in Memphis, a night in a haunted studio in upstate New York, and a doomed haircut in Thailand to a madcap misunderstanding in a Japanese ski resort, a family feud on a remote coral a...toll, and an all-too-revealing appearance for a Sydney charity. PRAISE FOR KILLING TIME: A moving and deeply felt kaleidoscope of life, love, family, music, friendship and the fragility of time. Barnes proved his storytelling mettle with his memoirs. But in Killing Time he has refined his unique voice with this wildly entertaining suite of tales, anecdotes, observations and reflections that can have you laughing out loud on one page and moved to tears on the next. It is all here, the joys and fears of parenthood, the search for your sense of place, fortune-tellers, the loss of beloved pets, bad golf, ghosts, backstage stories, celebrities, the homeless, and the wonder of being alive, all told with searing honesty. What sets Barnes's writing above the rest is that it comes from an authentic and soulful place. His work cannot help but ring true, like the strike of a tuning fork. - MATT CONDON @harpercollinsaustralia #jimmybarnes

'Only one conclusion is possible: it's the past, come to claim her.'... Martin Scarsden's new life seems perfect, right up until the moment it's shattered by a voicemail: a single scream, abruptly cut off, from his partner Mandalay Blonde. Racing home, he finds an unconscious man sprawled on the floor and Mandy gone. Someone has abducted her. But who, and why? So starts a twisting tale of intrigue and danger, as Martin probes the past of the woman he loves, a woman who has buried her former life so deep she has never mentioned it. And for the first time, Mandy finds denial impossible, now the body of a mystery man has been discovered, a man whose name she doesn't know, a man she was engaged to marry when he died. It's time to face her demons once and for all; it's time she learned how to trust.

08.01.2022 Why not escape into someone else’s life with one of these new Biographies!

08.01.2022 This review is too good not to share! Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason is fast becoming a staff favourite. #Repost @kmildenhall with @make_repost ... This book has been described as the love child of #fleabag, Sally Rooney & #fleishmanisintrouble - high praise that it absolutely lives up to. #sorrowandbliss by #megmason @harpercollinsaustralia is the story of Martha - who knows that something is wrong with her but she isn’t sure what. Martha is a compelling protagonist - difficult and biting and complicated - in a cast of vivid characters who made me laugh and infuriated me. Mason explores mental illness in ways that are both bleak and hopeful and her portrait of the family at the centre of the novel is divine. So looking forward to speaking with Meg for @yarravalley_writersfestival in an event this Sunday Oct 18 4pm. For bookings go to yarravalleywritersfestival.com. #whatkatereadnext #readinglist2020 #womenwriters #australianfiction #bookstagram #writersofinstagram

05.01.2022 Fiona tells us about her life, and the twists and turns it has taken, in a very authentic way, but it’s her humour and wit that really shines through. Even in the most emotional anecdotes, she still manages to leave you hopeful and smiling. @betterreadingau highly recommends Fiona O’Loughlin’s brave and moving memoir #TruthsFromAnUnreliableWitness. If you're ready to go behind-the-scenes with one of Australia's most loved comedians then make sure you grab a copy. ----...---------- OUT NOW #TruthsFromAnUnreliableWitness @thefionaoloughlin #Repost @hachetteaus with @make_repost See more

04.01.2022 The hotly anticipated new book from Bill Granger celebrates today's bright picture of Australian food - 20 years since he released the bestselling Sydney Food. In the 20 years since Bill Granger published his first book of recipes, Sydney Food, the world has fallen in love with the joyfully casual Australian way of eating. As a self-taught cook, straight out of art school, Bill furnished his first street-corner eatery in minimalist style, serving a small but perfectly formed... menu of domestic dishes around a central communal table. He captured the hearts of Sydneysiders and visitors alike, while setting an exciting new standard for cafe dining. Nowadays, from Sydney to Tokyo, and London to Seoul, queues form to enjoy ricotta hotcakes ('Sydney's most iconic dish' Good Food 2019), fluffy scrambled eggs, lively salads and punchy curries. It is a bright picture of Australian food that has travelled across the globe, packed with fresh flavours and local produce, healthy but never preachy, whose main ingredient seems to be sunshine itself. The plates at any of Bill's restaurants are more sophisticated today, reflecting decades of global experience and culinary creativity - but the warmth of atmosphere and joy of eating remain the same. @bill.granger @murdochbooks @farrells_bookshop

01.01.2022 Windows is an uplifting story of how humanity has pulled together during the Coronavirus pandemic. Written from Patrick's own experience of having to leave the family home due to his son's Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Windows shows how five kids from different parts of the world connect and draw strength from their communities, all from behind the safety of their own windows. Heartwarming, hopeful and surprisingly funny, Windows will resonate with families all over the world and become a valuable time capsule of what life was like in 2020. @patrickguest_author @hardiegrantchildrenspublishing @hardiegrantbooks @mandyhardiegrant @farrells_bookshop_kids
