Writer and artist James Norbury beautifully illustrates the adventures of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon, inspired by Buddhist philosophy and spirituality to share the ideas that helped him through difficult times.

Poignant and heartfelt, this gorgeous book is similar to Charlie Mackesy’s bestselling title, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.

So if you feel either you or someone you love needs a lift then this book could be just the ticket 💚

If you’re a fan of Elizabeth Strout (like I am)

If you’re a fan of Elizabeth Strout (like I am) and love her character Lucy Barton, then reading this in today’s Sunday Star Times Sunday magazine reminded me of the excitement for this incoming title (quite possibly still part of our box mountain).

Eagle eyed customers at the door will spot an even bigger table of thrillers and crime in the shop - the more we unpack the more space required has meant a new table (and sadly the sofa has had to depart). So many new books to tempt you……

Open today 10-2 (closed Saturday and Sunday) so come down today for some weekend reading.

Here’s one for the weekend (if it even feels like the weekend these days) - new from Australian bestselling author Chris Hammer (Scrublands, Silver, Trust).

This is a stand-alone thriller, set in a desolate outback town where police are struggling to keep law and order. When a Sydney homicide detective and a colleague are sent to investigate the suspicious death of an opal miner they end up fearing for their lives and not just their career.

As atmospheric and tautly written as his previous titles, you won’t want to miss this one.
