An evening of deep waters, endurance, and extraordinary human resilience.

Join us for a special author event with world-record-holding freediver Ant Williams and Kate Halfpenny as they discuss Ant’s powerful new book, Let It Be Tough.

A fascinating conversation about pushing limits, embracing discomfort, and what it really means to endure.

Whichever way you look at it, our ‘special’ table is awash with fabulous Mothers’ Day ideas-books, of course, and puzzles (the Around the World in 50 Orchids one is glorious), notecards, journals, craft, you name it. Tons of things almost as special as your Mum. PS: we’ve had a stream of mums today buying their own gifts so they get exactly what they want … we’re here for it and we won’t tell anyone.

So ace to have the iconic drop by for a catch up and quick shop. Anyone care to guess which book (fittingly, a recent movie adaptation) Jane went home with?

Loved having award-winning author Melissa Manning checking out the shelves at and signing copies of her new novel Frogsong. The book is a story of love, addiction and the tension we all feel at some point between loyalty and the need to save ourselves. Sexy and thoughtful reading for the weekend! Thanks for dropping by, ❤️

Our very own delightful Kate Halfpenny will be at this Sunday discussing all things memoir with the wonderful Sarah Arachne and Tara Moss, including the challenges, the joys and the sometimes painful sometimes liberating process of putting your story on paper.

If you haven’t already, snap up a ticket for the discussion this Sunday, and pop into Bookgrove for a signed copy of Kate’s Boogie Wonderland, a midlife memoir of moving from Melbourne to Ocean Grove. It’s laugh aloud funny, honest and so raw you’ll feel like Kate’s a close friend.

Have you ever wanted to do a pub crawl… but without the pub? And instead of going home with a hangover, you go home with a stack of books?

Well now you can. We have perfected the crawl - the book crawl!

Pop in store to grab your Global Book Crawl map of the Bellarine & Surf Coast, and get crawling. If you spend over $100 at any of the wonderful independent bookstores you get a gorgeous tote, and if you complete six stores you get a free audiobook and the pride of supporting so many wonderful independent bookstores.

Whose week just got better?!? We’ll see you soon xx
