Happy November fellow book lovers!

We are getting closer and closer to the end of the year and it feels like Christmas is right around the corner…

This is the perfect month to stretch out in the sun with a good book or to start preparing gifts for that Christmas period.
Luckily there are still many wonderful books coming out and we are excited to share with you the list we have put together for November.

Here are the books we are most looking forward to this month!

Warm Regards,

Paperchain

We are excited to be featuring the new historical fiction novel by Australian author Christos Tsiolkas! Set around the events surrounding the birth and establishment of the Christian church and the gospels and letters of St Paul, Damascus is one we are excited to dive into. We were also lucky enough to have Christos visit us in store and signed copies are still available!

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is a long time staff favourite here in store so we had to include her highly anticipated new novel The Starless Sea in our top four this month!
We are sure we aren’t the only ones who have been eagerly awaiting this one!

Another staff favourite here in store is Bri Lee. We were obsessed with Eggshell Skull when it came out last year and devoured her new book Beauty as soon as it came in.
We can’t stress how insightful and brilliant this book is. It was an instant staff favourite.

The last book we have featured in our top four for November is Olive Cotton by Helen Ennis. A landmark biography of a singular and important Australian photographer, Olive Cotton, by an award-winning writer – beautifully written and deeply moving.
