We love visits and signed copies of THE RUINERS and visits from the very chic Ellena Savage. Spikey, fun, smart, full of conspiring lobsters and the rot of lost bohemias. Read it

🌟Film pass giveaway!🌟
We have 10 double passes to giveaway for the film Life Could be a Dream by Jasmin Tarasin.
At 40, Sarah is forced to confront a painful truth: she's trapped in a marriage held together by the faded illusions of love. As her 13-year-old son begins to navigate the turbulence of adolescence, the dangers of staying—emotionally and psychologically —become impossible to ignore. Seeking refuge, Sarah relocates to a long-abandoned estate, a place suspended between past and present. Surrounded by the remnants of other people’s lives—and armed only with her lifelong obsession with Pride and Prejudice—she begins to reimagine her own story.
First 10 people to comment on this post or send us a dm will receive a double pass! Good luck!

Bookface Friday has been taken over by crab people! Thankfully beneath this pincer lies a story love, lust, legacy and the last days of civilisation as we know it...
About the book:
Pip’s life is going nowhere. She’s a university drop-out stuck in a dead-end job at a Melbourne lobster shack. But when her long-absent father dies, she’s left an orphan and fifty-thousand dollars richer. She doesn’t know what to do with her windfall until she meets Sasha, a dashing young scholar of Balkan literature.
Together, they hatch a mad plan: buy a decrepit house on a distressed Greek island where Sasha will write and Pip will sort out what to do with her life. However, instead of bohemian idyll, the couple find themselves ensnared in an environmental struggle that brings the mistakes of the past into sharp relief.
The Ruiners by Ellena Savage is instore now :)
For any and all devotees of famed and reclusive author Franz Kafka: from director Agnieszka Holland, a new biopic treating the life of this master of bureaucratic tedium.
We are pleased to be offering 5 double-in-season passes to see this film! So do reach out to us quickly; first in, first served. Comment on this post or send us a dm :)
