About Us

TBR is the home of the 3-Part Bookmark System; a revolutionary product that allows you to interchange all the elements of your bookmark. Beginning with an acrylic base, you choose your design, then match this to one of the hand-beaded chains, finally you choose two corresponding charms. Once all 3 elements are connected, the chain and charms hang out of your book and down the spine, while the acrylic bookmark keeps your place: function and beauty - together at last!

If you’re looking for something a little extra, we also specialise in Mystery Book Packs where you can choose a mystery book from your preferred genre and it comes with one of our 3-part sets, a snack, a drink, some review goodies, stickers, and a voucher for $3 off your next purchase. They make the perfect gift for that someone special, or a cheeky treat for yourself!

Co-Owner, Operator, and Book Pack Extraordinaire. Sam is a long-time crafter, first time seller with The Bookmark Revolution being her first venture into small business. She believes in the power of donuts and that shopping for hobbies and doing those hobbies are, in fact, two different hobbies!! Sam's long list of unfinished projects include: 4 Christmas quilts started over a year ago; collating all our family photos into albums; a secret project for Shannon; my kids' Book Week costumes; and a manuscript she started almost 20 years ago.

Sam's favourite part of running The Bookmark Revolution is when people tell us that the Mystery Book Packs helped them get back into reading, urged them to choose a genre they don't normally read, or was a surprisingly good read they never would have picked for themselves!

hamlet. Literature Expo is Sam’s brainchild, germinated from a belief that book events and celebrations should be available everywhere and that local artists deserve a spotlight. She is most looking forward to creating a safe and supportive environment for all Authors, Vendors, and attendees, where their love of books can be celebrated openly without judgement or stigma, no matter how weird or wacky!

Co-Owner, Operator, and Chief Charm Expert. Shannon (Todd) currently juggles being the ACT/NSW Regional Manager for The Design Group with the exhausting yet exhilarating job of running TBR. She can’t say no to gimmicky food packaging (the weirder the flavour, the better!) and one day she hopes to be a fully fledged grown up. She has two cats with a total of 7.5 legs and won’t ever read anything with butt stuff. Seriously, don’t ask – it’s her hard limit!Shannon’s favourite part of running The Bookmark Revolution is when customers say they’ve seen us on Instagram or TikTok, or when they have seen us around at other markets. Nothing brings her greater joy than the squeal of a book dragon finding our stall. Pure bliss!!Shannon’s venture into events with hamlet. Literature Expo has come from a place of wanting to ensure every single person who passes our stall feels accepted and welcome, but make it grand! There is a sign that sits on our market table that says “we listen and we do’t judge”, and hamlet. is that sentiment personified. Shannon cannot wait to see the convergence of every variation of book lover out there!
