Where the Books Are

An evening of deep waters, endurance, and extraordinary human resilience.

Join us for a special author event with world-record-holding freediver Ant Williams and Kate Halfpenny as they discuss Ant’s powerful new book, Let It Be Tough.

A fascinating conversation about pushing limits, embracing discomfort, and what it really means to endure.

So ace to have the iconic drop by for a catch up and quick shop. Anyone care to guess which book (fittingly, a recent movie adaptation) Jane went home with?

Our very own delightful Kate Halfpenny will be at this Sunday discussing all things memoir with the wonderful Sarah Arachne and Tara Moss, including the challenges, the joys and the sometimes painful sometimes liberating process of putting your story on paper.

If you haven’t already, snap up a ticket for the discussion this Sunday, and pop into Bookgrove for a signed copy of Kate’s Boogie Wonderland, a midlife memoir of moving from Melbourne to Ocean Grove. It’s laugh aloud funny, honest and so raw you’ll feel like Kate’s a close friend.
