The Picasso Ransom by @atprewett
The Picasso Ransom is a charming and witty cosy crime novel that puts a fresh spin on a real Australian art mystery, with three delightfully unconventional retirees at the heart of the story. It’s blend of humour, and light-hearted heist antics makes for an entertaining read that’s easy to get swept up in.

Story Writing comp! We`re having a blast reading all your stories We`ve had over 100 entries, so we`ve got lots of reading ahead of us.
Ten is currently reading Yesteryear by @caroclaireburke
One of the standout books of the year, Yesteryear has quickly become one of 2026`s biggest bestsellers. Richly written, compelling and impossible to put down, it`s the kind of novel that stays with you long after you`ve finished the final page.
Have you read Yesteryear yet? We`d love to know what you thought (no spoilers, please! ), or tell us if it`s on your TBR.

Time Travel for Beginners by @jaclynmoriarty
Publication Date : July 28th
Inside, you’ll be welcomed by the smell of freshly brewed coffee, a selection of baked goods . . . and the question, Where in time do you wish to go?
The guidelines are simple: you can go whenever you wish into the past, and there’s no fear of altering the present. Have tea with Jane Austen, scream at a Beatles concert, witness the Olympics in ancient Greece. Perhaps a more personal trip? Visit your long-lost grandmother, recapture the heady days of your youth, return to the idyllic time when your teen was a babbling baby—or watch yourself make the one decision that changed everything.
Is it a hoax? And if it’s real, what’s the catch?
Pre order now. In store July 28th.
Jemma is currently reading: The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer
A story about a book witch who can step into fictional worlds? Say less.
With magical libraries, beloved literary characters, page-turning adventure and a love story that breaks all the rules, this feels like the ultimate read for anyone who`s ever wished they could disappear into the pages of their favourite book. Because let`s be honest... haven`t we all wanted to live inside a story at least once?
Jemma is completely enchanted so far. Would you read this one?
