Local author/journalist and long time friend of the bookshop Matthew Ricketson has teamed up with fellow journalist Andrew Dodd to produce this important exposé 'Getting Murdoched'.

Every Time She Wakes will be coming out on 30 June 2026 with Allen & Unwin Books and Allen & Unwin Aotearoa NZ ...

When careers counsellor Suze and her family are kidnapped from their home during a bushfire emergency, she thinks it’s the end—until the van crashes and sends her two weeks back in time.

Only Suze remembers the terror that came before. Is it all in her mind?

But then it happens again. And again.

With every loop, her world twists into a new version of itself. Suze must work out why this keeps happening and who is behind the kidnappings. But she’s running out of time to save her family and wake up in a world she recognises.

Every Time She Wakes is a taut, time-bending thriller about family, identity and defying fate. And you can preorder here - https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Petronella-McGovern-Every-Time-She-Wakes-9781761472800
