What Our Book Lovers Are Saying

The bookstore is fantastic. It is looking amazing and I am so glad I came. Stacey has been so easy to deal with, she’s really fantastic and a really great person to do a shop like this. She’s open-minded and I love someone that is very romance-focused and in Melbourne. It is a great niche.

Sandra

This coffee was perfect! If you are needing coffee and books this is the place to come, ’cause DAMN!
Quote
Serra

So great to have a bookshop on this side of town. The atmosphere is bustling. If you are in the area, it is great to have a shop that is in the west. Come in, grab a book or coffee, and you never know— a writer might be writing right next to you.
Quote
Mandi

I love reading and this place came up and I am so excited. Nothing has ever existed like this in my experience. A bookshop where you can come in, sit and read, and you have so much variety. I am overwhelmed in the best way.

Isabella

Something that is like Robinsons but I can stick around and hang out.

I was very excited to learn that there was going to be a new romance-focused bookstore in Melbourne, and one that is so close to the city and supports indie authors like myself and popular trad titles. Spoke to Stacey— very savvy businesswoman who has a passion for novels and stories and books and supporting local authors. I am very excited to work with her.

I grabbed a book. I couldn’t help myself. I had a nice look around the bookstore and it was absolutely beautiful. The environment has been perfect, the coffee is great, the staff is amazing, and it is very cosy.

I am at the Forbidden Chapter Bookstore grand opening. I have actually been following their journey of how they have been getting this place together on TikTok for a while now, and it is incredible the progress they have made. I was excited to come today to the grand opening and see it in its final form. The vibe in here is amazing, the staff is incredible, it is packed to the brim with everyone that is so passionate about books and indie authors. I think it is going to be my new go-to favourite spot.
