John of John by Douglas Stuart
After escaping to art college , Cal (John-Calum) is drawn back to the tiny Isle of Harris where he grew up; where his devout Presbyterian father ( a tweed weaver) & ever watchful & judgmental community require him to be vigilant in concealing his true self. Against a backdrop of a remote, stark landscape, limited prospects & resources, dwindling villager numbers & an omnipotent priest & church : everything is loaded. Beautifully realised with flawed & tender characters this novel radiates life in a tiny Scottish hamlet with both humour & hostility. Containing some of the most lovely musings on colour I have ever read, this is a novel of beauty, duty & damage; of family ties & the power of truth, secrets & limitations to tear apart.
This one stays with you

Book series we are loving...
The Dream Harbor series by @lauriegilmore_author is pure cosy fun. You can read them in any order, which makes them the perfect pick-up-when-you-need-something-cute kind of books. They’re flirty, charming, and set in the sweetest small town full of lovable characters and dreamy romance. Think Hallmark movie meets Stars Hollow vibes, but cuter, sassier, and with a little extra spice. Basically the ultimate feel-good reads for when you want something easy, comforting, and impossible not to binge.
You`ll find them in romance or staff recs. Plus we`ve got a box set! Perfect winter reads.

June Book Club picks
This month we’re reading Childhood by Brendan James Murray and Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. Two books that are both guaranteed to spark incredible conversation.
Childhood is a thoughtful, nostalgic memoir about growing up, family, school, and the moments that shape us. Even more special, Brendan is a local author and local readers will recognise so many familiar Australian settings and experiences throughout the book
Yesteryear takes us into the world of tradwife culture, curated perfection, nostalgia, and influencer identity. Sharp, addictive, and full of BIG discussion topics
We cannot wait to chat about both of these with you this month
