Hello Friends of Bookoccino,

Welcome to your Summer Reading Guide! This is our sixth edition and our favourite one yet. You can click the image to view or download your guide via the button below.

In these pages you’ll discover staff favourites, the reading recommendations of our many great author friends and all of the year’s best books.  

We have feature interviews with the Pulitzer- winning art critic Sebastian Smee (Paris in Ruins: Love, War and the Birth of Impressionism); iconic war correspondent Lindsey Hilsum (I Brought the War With Me: Stories and Poems from the Front Line) and Zanni Louise, author of Hazel’s Treehouse. 

Our striking cover art is by Australian artist Luke Sciberras, who shares recommendations and news from his studio in Hill End. 

It’s almost seven years since we became the owners of Bookoccino. What a journey it has been. Books. Stimulating events. Live music. Wine. Always abuzz with coffee drinkers and intelligent discussion. 

We have come to realise that a truly independent community bookstore is a rare and special thing. Thank you for supporting us, encouraging us and keeping Bookoccino alive and vibrant by spending your reading dollars with us. We are greatly appreciative.

We hope you’ll find plenty of great reading material within. 

Happy Summer Reading!
