Bookclub Blog

We're not literary critics, and you won't find star ratings or reviews here — just a simple, regularly updated list of books we're enjoying at the studio, plus the titles you, our customers, keep telling us about. Think of it as a running shelf of recommendations rather than anything fancy. New picks added regularly, so check back often — and of course, every great book needs a great bookmark!

So whether you're packing your suitcase, claiming your spot in the garden, or searching for your book club's next great read — here's a short list of our (and your!) favourite reads. If you have any you'd like to share for our next list, please pop us an email at studio@petraboase.com.
