A warm welcome to book lovers and readers
Thank you to the enthusiastic audiences who came to the event in May when we streamed eight diverse sessions from the 2025 Sydney Writers’ Festival (SWF). As always the sessions were thought-provoking and provided an opportunity for like-minded lovers of books, writing and reading to meet up and chat!
Don’t miss the chance to gather again on Saturday 19 July for the 2025 Maleny Big Book Club with our special guest Kate Evans (ABC RN, The Bookshelf) as we explore what it means for contemporary writers to re-tell the classics.
More details about the events and booking information can be found below and in the events menu.
We look forward to seeing you and we thank you for your continuing support and enthusiasm.

2025 Maleny Big Book Club
The Maleny Big Book Club returns on 19 July 2025 with a special session exploring how contemporary writers reimagine classic tales. This year’s focus is on James by Percival Everett, a retelling of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from the perspective of the slave Jim. Join us for a deep dive into this multi-award-winning novel, guided by special guest Kate Evans. Whether you’ve read the original or not, it’s a thought-provoking discussion you won’t want to miss.
