Low commitment. High reward. Totally not a Book Club…

The City of Perth Library’s Not a Book Club is an author in-conversation series for readers who love stories, ideas, and conversation—without the homework. Hosted by the indefatigable Will Yeoman, this new series brings a mix of Western Australian favourites and touring authors for exclusive in-conversation events throughout 2026. With a blend of free and ticketed sessions, there’s something for everyone.

Our next event features local writer Amanda Curtin, exploring her new book Six Days. Expat Daniel has lived in Paris for over forty years, trying to atone for a lifetime of mistakes. When his friend Marcelline disappears, a single error of judgment threatens everything he holds dear. As Daniel and his old dog wander the streets of the Latin Quarter over six winter days in 2012, their story expands into interconnected lives and histories.
