Find out how to get a free summer reading sampler at Bondi Beach on 4 February 2023.
Summer is for fresh starts and fresh reads, whether you are at the beach or in the park soaking up the sun.
This is why we are excited to announce that we will be hosting a special activation on Bondi Beach to encourage beachgoers to get into reading this summer.
When: Saturday 4th Feb 2023, from 11 am
Where: Campbell Parade entry to Bondi Beach, opp. Hall St
What: A super-fun Penguin Random House cart will be handing out a selection of samplers containing extracts from some of our best books in four different genres: crime, commercial fiction, romance and literary.
The samplers include extracts from bestselling backlist titles and sneak peeks from a few upcoming novels. The first 100 attendees to visit the cart will also get a Penguin tote bag.
All you have to do is head to the beach on the day, ask our friendly staff for a sampler (or two!) and enjoy your time reading in the summer sun!
At Penguin Random House, we are committed to sustainability across all levels of our business and a key part of this is giving staff the time and opportunity to give back to our environment.
