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.

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
