Perth's best romantasy book stockists

Plus we're getting more IMAX screens!

October 24, 2025

Happy Friday to all and sundry — we’ve made it to another weekend, and if you’re looking for things to do on this particular one, we’ve got options! It’s Blessing of the Fleet weekend down in Freo, timed to perfection with the re-launch of Leeuwin II this evening.

On that front we’ve got you covered with some cafe options over the weekend, while further south Baldivis’ newest watering hole swings its doors open on Saturday. Further north? There’s a great little family-friendly event happening all day Sunday at ECU Joondalup.

Finally, if you’d prefer to just curl up with a naughty book, one of Perth’s emerging romantasy authors has helped us out with where to find the best of that burgeoning genre of books all over Perth.

Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!
