Come and join us for the launch of local author Sophie Masson’s new Young Adult novel, The Ghost Squad.

About The Ghost Squad:

Imagine a world where all seems normal and yet nothing is - a world very much like our own, yet jarringly unlike. A world where two clandestine organisations, the Ghost Squad and the Base, are engaged in a secret battle for control of information so dangerous it could literally change life as humans have always known it…

Join us to celebrate ONE YEAR in our new space!

VIRAGO Book Club will be meeting in February to discuss Women Don’t Owe You Pretty by Florence Given and Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata.

The RC Book Club will be meeting in February to discuss So Long, See You Tomorrow by William Maxwell and May We Be Forgiven by A. M. Homes.

Reader’s Companion will be closed for the Australia Day Public Holiday.

Unfortunately this has been postponed until further notice - we still have a great range of vinyl in store all the time. Check it out online.

Dr. Joy will be visiting Reader’s Companion on Saturday 21st of March, between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Come along and chat about Aromatherapy and how it can help you!

We are very excited to be hosting Todd Alexander, author of 30000 Bottles of Wine and a Pig Called Helga, on Thursday 15th August at 6pm. Of course, given that this book is about a tree-changer and his vineyard, and given that there will be wine-tasting, where else would we gather but Charlie's Last Stand

Tickets are $10 and include a witty chat from Todd, wine tasting (Todd's own drop) and a few light but very delicious snacks.

Join us at Charlie’s Last Stand for bubble, canapes and a chat with the author Amanda Hampson about her new book “Sixty Summers”

Tickets available at Readers Companion or Charlie’s Last Stand
