The Rose Read Bookshop is an independent bookshop founded by Stephanie Beck and Mischa Parkee and is built from a love of books, community, and the women who inspire us.
Our journey began in 2007, when Steph and Mischa met in high school and formed a connection that became stronger over the years through a shared love of reading.
Rose Read is more than just a bookshop; we strive to be a place of gathering, where people with differing experiences can come together in a safe space and connect through a shared love of books. We recognise that the land in which Rose Read is built on has long been a place of gathering and where storytelling has always existed.
Our booksellers are passionate about celebrating diverse voices and championing books that surprise, challenge, and inspire; books that provide a gateway to understanding different perspectives, feelings, and ways of being.
Rose Read is a space for readers, browsers, gift-givers, families, and anyone who believes stories can change the way we see the world. We can’t wait to welcome you in.
