24.01.2022 Tonight we are being treated to a special event with Paul McDermott and Peter Fenton, old friends who will together launch Paul's moving and beautiful picture book, #Ghostbear. Rather than two heads floating on Zoom, they will be in the same room together so this will be more like a chat show of old! Fun! There are still a few tickets left here: Ghostbear: A Conversation with Paul McDermott & Peter Fenton and in the meantime you can read Paul's interview with HerCanberra.

20.01.2022 What are our booksellers loving right now? Nina says of #Honeybee: "Craig Silvey has created an incredibly tender portrait of vulnerability, identity, and choice. Honeybee can be tragic, at times shattering, but there is a frisson of hope skimming the surface, buoying up through the murkiness of circumstances to take us beyond the next turn. Brave, charming characters, exquisite pacing and dialogue and unflinching humanity has made Silvey’s latest novel one of hi...s greatest. Get ready to fall for Honeybee." Have you picked up Honeybee yet? What are your thoughts? We are buzzing with excitement to be hosting Craig for an online event on Wednesday 21 October at 6:30pm AEDT, where you can find out more about the book and the writing path he has taken since #JasperJones. Hope to see you there! See more

10.01.2022 Welcome to the week (...and the world of #HarryHartog)

10.01.2022 What are our booksellers loving right now? Elle says of #TheMorbids by Ewa Ramsey: "Ever since an accident two years ago, Caitlin's existence has been defined by overwhelming anxiety about her own death. She used to be climbing the career ladder and planning an overseas trip with her best friend; now she's left her job, drinks copiously and has isolated herself in her efforts to hide her crippling fear from friends and family. Ramsey delves into Caitlin's life wi...th a wry, dark humour and a tender touch, making you ache for the person she was and the half life she's living now. The Morbids will hit close to home for many readers, ranging from those who have lived with anxiety for decades to those who may never have experienced it until this particular tumultuous year. Although it has moments of darkness, it's a love letter to friendship, emotional intimacy and perseverance exactly the kind of book we need right now." We are thrilled to be hosting the free Book Launch for this unmissable debut. It will take place this Thursday September 10 at 8pm on our Facebook page, hosted by bookseller Elle. Please join us!

07.01.2022 What are our booksellers loving right now? Josh says of #TheCityWeBecame by NK Jemisin: "New York City is about to be born - not because its new but because it has reached that time in its lifecycle where it is about to emerge as a fully aware multi-dimensional being. And to do so, it is going to need the help of those that call it home, namely the avatars of its boroughs as its birth is not going to be an easy one. This wonderfully different novel brings all the diversity and quirk that is pretty much a hallmark of NK Jemisin's works. Her characters are beautifully drawn and multi-faceted and never cliches. Her imagination is boundless and her inspirations for both plot and characters are beautifully layered. This is a fascinating series that has me waiting impatiently for the next titles in the series."

On Wednesday September 9 at 6:30pm AEST in the #HarryHartog Zoom Room, these authors along with moderator Danielle Binks will chat about the key ingredients for a magical middle grade read, their own new releases, and how to make sure kids keep reading. Please join us!

02.01.2022 What are our booksellers loving right now? Ashleigh says of #EitherSideOfMidnight: "When TV Presenter Sam Midford commits suicide live on air, despite the world seeing it unfurl, there is only one person who believes Sam was murdered. Sam's brother Harry sets out to prove that there is no way Sam committed suicide. A definite page-turner full of puzzles to be solves and clues that will make anyone believe they have it all figured out when in reality... have they? Cannot recommend this highly enough."
