About Us

Hi, we’re Cat and Freya!

Two queer women, best friends for nearly two decades, and unapologetic lovers of books and all things gay.

We met at school, with Freya in the year below Cat, and quickly bonded over the truly important things in life: playing raisin catch, getting wildly hyper on candy floss, and generally being a pair of chaotic, book-obsessed ADHD goblins. What started as playground antics turned into a friendship built on loyalty, laughter, and always having each other’s backs — no matter what.

As we grew up, so did our love of literature, especially the kind that actually reflects who we are. We know what it feels like to search for stories where you can finally see yourself, and how powerful that moment is when you find one.

This bookstore is something we’ve dreamed about for years. It’s more than just shelves of books, it’s the kind of safe, welcoming space we both wish we’d had when we were younger. A place where queer stories are centred, celebrated, and easy to find. A place where you can feel at home.

Freya is the ideas machine, fueled by caffeine, glitter, and a never-ending stream of what ifs. She’s the one bringing the big energy, the wild ideas, and definitely convincing you to join a book club, attend an event, or buy a book you didn’t know you needed… but now definitely do.

Cat is the organiser but don’t be fooled. Beneath the calm, collected exterior lies a storm of insane organisational prowess and chaotic creativity. She's the one who makes sure everything runs smoothly, keeps the ship afloat, and sometimes casually throws a spontaneous book-themed dance party into the mix just for fun.

Together, we’re pure chaos with a dash of order, a sprinkle of madness, and somehow, it works perfectly.

At the heart of everything we’re building is community, connection, and joy. Because everyone deserves a space where they feel seen — and a story where they belong.

Welcome to our little corner of the world. 🌈
