Hi Friends,

Second Chances Bookshop is a NZ online store that launched on Tuesday 4th February 2025 that aims to provide bestselling books, authors and series second-hand.

I would love for you to follow the journey by following @secondchancesbookshop on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok to keep up with the latest updates and get notified when new books drop every Friday at 7pm.

If you have any book requests please send them through and you will be notified first of their availability prior to being released on the website.

Your patience and feedback is greatly appreciated while I navigate how this all works and get to know you all.

Thank you,

E
