🪿Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

”You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”

Few poems capture self-acceptance quite like Wild Geese. Written by q***r poet Mary Oliver, it’s a powerful reminder that you don’t need permission to be yourself, nor do you need to change to belong. 🫂

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating voices that encourage us to live authentically, love freely, and take up space exactly as we are. 💛

We have a wide range of LGBQTI+ books and authors available in-store now, or order for collection, local delivery, or shipping straight to your door. 🌈📚✨

Book of the Week: Endling by Maria Reva ☁️

A Booker Prize 2025 Longlisted debut that is already making waves in the literary world, Endling is a brilliantly original, darkly funny, and deeply moving novel set in Ukraine on the eve of war.

Following three determined women, a truck full of kidnapped bachelors, and a critically endangered snail, Maria Reva masterfully blends humour, heartbreak, adventure, and sharp social commentary into a story that is impossible to forget 🐌

Born in Ukraine and raised in Canada, draws on her own connection to the country to create a novel that explores identity, resilience, survival, and the stories we tell ourselves in times of crisis 🇨🇦

If you’re looking for a thought-provoking literary read that balances humour with powerful themes, Endling deserves a place at the top of your TBR 🫶🏼

📖 Available now in-store, or we can order a copy for you with delivery straight to your door. Pop in, send us a message, or give us a call to reserve yours today!
