Booked Out Book Club pick for NOVEMBER is…

Cheese! by

“Cheese! is a standout for its clever rhyming, mouth-watering illustrations and representations of the versatile food favourite around the world. Big props to Felice for not only including the French fancy ones, but the crowd-pleasers for those of us with simpler palates (nothing beats cream cheese on toast). It’s sure to be a great stocking stuffer this Christmas, and bound to increase everyone's appetites! .” Marissa from the Booked Out Team.

Kill Your Husbands by

“An enthralling, multi-POV page turner that will shock, scandalise and keep you guessing! We open with a silhouette of those left standing and reading this book felt like being given a polaroid of the crime scene and having to shake it until the blank figures finally revealed themselves.” Natalya from the Booked Out Team.

Booked Out Book Club pick for JULY is...

Completely Normal by

"What a delight this book was! I felt like my heart broke and healed along with Stellas, and I felt so seen with the depiction of the tricky friendships through teen years, which is all part of the process of growing up and finding your people. I loved spending time with these characters — some of the most authentically written teen characters I’ve read in a long time. I adored it." - Anna from the Booked Out Team
