Angertainment by @edcoper

We`re proud to join our community in leaving a green light on as a visible act of compassion for those experiencing homelessness on the Mornington Peninsula.
To help spread the message, you can collect your green light from the shire office. Pop in and collect one while stocks last.
Whether it`s your porch light, a window light, or one of our green lights, this simple gesture helps raise awareness, encourage understanding, honour the work of frontline staff, and show that our community stands together.
Will you join us?
💚 One light. One night. One community standing together.

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.

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.
