This season we will be running two groups, one at our Southbank bookshop and one in South Melbourne. Join us as we read three great books, then come together to discuss them over a glass of wine or cup of tea.
We have an absolutely gripping read to kick us off in June. London Falling, the latest book from Patrick Radden Keefe is our non-fiction pick of the year so far. It’s an enthralling story of death, deception, family and justice.
The first sessions will be the final Tuesday and Thursday of June. You can find out more about our bookclubs and sign up via the link in our bio.
Jaye has gone straight from this memoir into a multitude of rabbit holes from which we may never see her again.
Belle Burden writes with great clarity. Her husband abandons her with whiplash abruptness and she is felled. Overnight becoming a stranger, she cannot fathom who this person is with whom she built a loving life over 20 years.
As much a story of how even the very affluent (this is the Manhattan/Martha’s Vineyard set) bleed like the rest of us, this tale of prenuptial agreements and inherited wealth and hedge funds provide glimpses of insecurity and societal norms and cruelty that are gobsmacking.
And then you come out of the book which is, of course, her truth, and start thinking - what is his?
A hard one to put down.

We are so delighted with this effort more so as support came from so many different facets of our bookish life.
.
Thanks to
for their traders discount for everyone
for the donation of some yummy sweets
for gorgeous truffles to take home plus the cutest little theme tags
Kat for the lemon slices and generous donation
All those who came including Susannah, CEO of, our readers, friends and family.
Thanks also to traders who supported with buying a plate to takeaway
Amd last but definitely not least, much thanks to those who couldn’t make it but gave generously anyway
We had fun (although Cal ate too much)!

Morning Tea was dedicated to Fann Peng Sheng who passed from salivary gland cancer. May he rest in peace.
It was our privilege to be the booksellers for at this evening’s Symposium on Youth with Disabilities in Aged Care at the Melbourne Town Hall.
.
Geraldine’s debut novel ‘Things I Cannot Say’ features Tracey, an intelligent, feisty, can-do professional paralysed by sudden accident who finds herself residenced in an aged care facility.
This is a plight not unusual in our country.
.
This gem of a book was highly spoken of by the experts on the panel, folk familiar to the lived experience and praised as a ‘top read’ not only for shining the light on this, not commonly known, situation but also as simply a ‘bloody great read’.
.
Signed copies are now available at our Southgate shop.

Last week Cannon by Lee Lai became the first graphic novel to win the Stella Prize. Proving graphic novels can be a truly literary form, Cannon is a funny, intimate story about friendship, family, queerness, care and self-sacrifice.
From the Stella judges: ‘This is a novel of immense skill and power that uses words and the visual language of comics to construct a complex and pleasingly unresolved story that readers can’t put down.’
If you love Australian literary fiction but don’t usually read graphic novels, we urge you to give this beautiful and deserving winner a try!

The new Elizabeth Strout is a standalone and has a completely new and different set of characters. This is thus the perfect novel for novices yet to discover this brilliant writer, as well as for those of us who cannot get enough of Strout.
.
Artie is a 57 yo school teacher, beloved by his students and colleagues, sensitive to the seismic shifts of our current reality. Day by day, Strout traces his uncertainties and vulnerabilities while demonstrating how small acts of understanding, love and kindness can profoundly impact outcomes.
.
This is a powerful, quiet read. Fatalistic. I found it immensely soothing.

Right now, Australian Indie bookshops have a once in five year opportunity to put brick and mortar bookshops on the national cultural agenda.

Go directly to the submission form link in our bio and let our govt know how much your local bookshop means to you, how they belong on the cultural agenda and to urge for meaningful support.
Thank You!
Fair to say when our author stepped into the sold out evening to take his seat, the room lifted with recognition and pleasure.
.
JP Pomare is our very first repeat guest (yes, our Mystery Nights have been going on for long enough for JP to have written another book!) and our special invite host for the evening, reader Liss Coutts fittingly led the conversation with warmth, fondness and familiarity felt by at least half the room.
.
Indeed the first audience question “but why did you have to set it in the States?’ could have come from a scolding aunt (because the crime I had in mind could only happen somewhere that demanded scale - JP affectionately explained).
.
JP is such a fave of the group that a couple of guests had already read The Gambler.
.
Ana received her copy for Mothers Day and finished it in one sitting. She shared with JP and the group, “it’s one thing to be a great crime book, and this one definitely is. But to also be a book with so much heart, it’s really something else”.
.
Colleen whipped out her app to show JP she had given it 5 stars.
.
We rounded the very special evening with a round of Happy Birthday to Lydia.
.
And, btw, the choice of almost love song for this reel is no accident - the Mary Martin Bookshop adores you JP! Thank you for a(nother) wonderful evening.
Our bookseller Mel has read and loved Yesteryear. Here’s her take on it.
‘Funny, perceptive and bitingly political, Yesteryear examines influencer culture, religion, sanity and online ideologies. Christian influencer tradwife Natalie has the Instagram perfect life, with her cowboy husband and six lovely children on their stunning ranch. Until she wakes up in 1805 to a very different reality (who are these kids??). Sharp, unsettling and very cleverly done!’
Thursday, June 4th, 6:15PM at Mary Martin Bookshop Shop G17, Southgate Shopping Centre, 3006 VIC. RSVP using the link below.
Max Francis makes his highly anticipated debut with Honour & Heresy an atmospheric, gothic, dark academic fantasy of two scholars racing each other to find answers to an invasion in a haunted library.
Filled with all the yearning of a rivals-to-lovers romance, the intrigue and fear of a dark academia, and the wonder and discovery of an epic fantasy, Honour & Heresy is ultimately a story of self-discovery amidst the chaos of war and a long, cold winter.
Max Francis will be joined in conversation by Cameron Sullivan, author of the historical fantasy novel The Red Winter.
Following the discussion, there will be an audience Q&A and booksigning.
Doors open at 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start.
