Another great illustrated children’s biography from local author Maria Gill - this is the captivating survival story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and Frank Worsley. Gorgeous watercolour illustrations from Alistair Hughes bring their story to life. .

Nothing like a new thriller from an award-winning author to fill in some holiday time (if you’re lucky enough to be on one).....In the Clearing is by NZ author JP Pomare, who wrote Call me Evie (winner of the Ngaio Marsh best first novel award). This is an atmospheric fast-paced page turner. Come in and get yours today!

Beloved local author David Grant (of the hugely successful We Gathered Here), passed away earlier this year, but nine of his sermons from his time as minister at Knox Church live on. Pictured are his daughter Helen Jack and widow Alison Grant at the recent launch in Dunedin of “Lakeside Conversations”. We are very proud to have this touching book for sale. (Photo credit ODT)

So apparently “book turning” is a thing? Specifically turning Jacinda Ardern’s biography so it’s not face out..... 🙄🙄 Not the first time it’s happened in the shop. Probably not the last. Guess everyone needs a hobby! Spoiler alert. I turned it back. 🙌

We are behind the counter because a) that’s where we have been since the minute we opened the door this morning and b) at this stage of the day it’s propping us up. True story. So to all our customers and Instagram followers from Mary-Liz, Karen and Kaye we wish you all a happy, safe and relaxing Christmas and of course happy reading! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
