'A sparkling bookish story about rules just begging to be broken' Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone

‘A charming romcom about finding your own path and never being scared to break the rules’ Freya Sampson, author of The Last Library

Maggie Banks loves books. And running a bookstore sounds like the best job in the world. Except in Bell River, a place that refuses to let her sell anything written this century.

But in Maggie's world, book rules are made to be broken.

And what better way to break tradition than by starting an underground book club. But keeping her new club quiet, selling forbidden books and dodging the strict literary society is proving harder than it seems. Especially when Maggie unearths a secret that could upend everything…

Early readers love The Secret Book Club:
'Sometimes you just need a hug in a book and this is the one I needed.’

'Something about reading about books is so fun. The setting in this book was amazing and the romance was top tier.’

‘This book has so much soul and quirky chaos that I absolutely adored.’

'What a great story full of fun and mischief as well as some potential romance. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this book and was routing for Maggie the whole way.’

'Who doesn’t love a small town bookshop romance where the heroine finds not just love but purpose?’

'I'd recommend this book to everyone who's a bookworm, likes bookish themes and is looking for a cute story in a small town setting.’

An <em>anti-racist</em> social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
