Have you pre-ordered the upcoming new novel by Philippa Gregory? We still blame her for a rather intense obsession with royal history, and Royal Witch is going to open up a whole new chapter to get lost in.

Set in 1420, the court of Henry V, Eleanor Cobham is about to see what a woman can be capable of, and the risks that come with power. Based on the true story of a woman who rose in royal society and faced dangerous accusations of witchcraft, this is another gripping historical drama by the author who does it exceptionally well.

Releasing at the end of this month - let us know if you’ll be picking this up!

Looking for your next standalone romantasy read? You have to check out The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson - community reviewer Sarah really enjoyed it and wrote a review that has us SOLD. A kiss that literally kills, plenty of scheming and spice - yep, this sounds ideal.

Wow. We are feeling incredibly grateful tonight 🥹💛

We were so honoured to win the Spark Retail NZ People’s Choice Award 2026.

To think that, out of all the incredible retailers across New Zealand, an independent Kiwi bookshop was chosen for this award feels pretty special. It says so much about the strength of the book community in New Zealand and how much it continues to grow. We feel incredibly lucky to be a small part of it. 📚

To everyone who voted for us, shops with us, recommends us to a friend, comments on our posts or simply follows along with what we’re building, thank you. Your support genuinely means the world to us.

We’re so proud to be an independent Kiwi bookshop and so grateful for the wonderful community around us. 💛
