We’re a small team with a healthy obsession for books and buying local
We are Whoa Nellie
Nellie the Sassy Snail & Professor Emelius the Mouse - Machine Mascots -
Nellie’s snail spiral delivers your purchases with ease (if not speed) while Prof. Emelius ensures that ordering is in order.
Ellene LOVES books.
She also loves finding joyful trinkets and objects that are created in Australia with love.
She’s been a primary school teacher for over 13 years and wants to take her love of literature out of the classroom and into the community.
Ellene loves a chat, except when she’s reading…in which case don’t even bother cause she’s lost in a fictional world and won’t hear you.
Freddie - Cosy Fiction
Freddie is bohemian and chill and loves cosy fiction…except when Mercury is in retrograde. Then he loves the drama.
Romy and Michelle - Contemporary Fiction
Time after time Romy and Michelle think they’re going to get out of their comfort zone and try to read self help/business books but oh my gawd they love sticking their antennules into other people’s business; so they always go back to contemporary fiction.
Deborah - Non-Fiction
Debbie is all about facts. For instance, starfish don’t actually have a brain. It’s a true miracle that she can read.
D’Artagnan the Turtle - Historical Fiction
Turtles live a long time. He’s seen some stuff.
Alexandra - The Classics
Wishes she could see the Library of Alexandria, or dance a quadrille, or dine with Dracula.
Rhysand, Rowan and Ruhn - Romantasy
Because in romantasy novels, there are always more fish in the sea.
Rhizome, Root and Rapture - Romance
Love is love and these babes like nothing more than to burrow into a warm hole and read for hours.
Dolly the Dolphin - Young Adult
Dolly thinks it’s mid that she has to go to school from 9-3 every day…what a way to prepare to make a living (eyeroll).
Craig - Crime and Thriller
Craig loves crime.
Clarence and Cornelius - Children’s Books
Cutie kids who are discovering the joy of reading. Finding out facts, imagining different worlds and going on swashbuckling adventures. They love it all!
Anaxagoras - Fantasy/Sci-Fi
Make sure you pronounce their name correctly and get your head around the magical system…then travel with them on a quest through different lands!
