About Bookaholics Hub
A Literary Home For The Malaysian Book Community
We’ve always believed a bookshop should be more than a place to buy. It should be a place to belong. For 4 years, we were Bookaholics Anonymous: your trusted secondhand bookseller. Today, we’ve evolved into Bookaholics Hub: a vibrant community where readers connect, discover, and grow, anchored by the bookshop you know and love.
Our Story: From Transaction to Connection
Our journey began with a simple, passionate idea: to get great books into the hands of readers. As Bookaholics Anonymous, we built a reputation for carefully curated titles and a seamless online experience that expanded to a physical bookstore as well. We were, and still are, a dedicated preloved bookshop.
But a seed was always there, planted from the very beginning. We never wanted to be just a cart and a checkout. We dreamed of fostering the conversations that happen after the last page is turned. We longed to be a space, both physical and digital, where book lovers could find their people.
That dream is now our reality.
Bookaholics Hub is the next chapter. We’ve taken our core value, a profound love for books, and built a community around it. We’re the same team, with the same commitment to quality, but with a renewed mission: to be the vital, beating heart of the literary community.
What Does a "Book Community Hub" Mean?
It means we’re your partners in the literary journey. Beyond our shelves (virtual and real), you’ll find:
Listing of Book Clubs: We want you to vibe with your tribe, so we try to provide you with a listing of any book clubs available out there so that you can join other readers. Or, start your own and share with others here!
Listing of Bookish Events: We need your help too, to share any information about literary events so that everyone can be a part of it. Simply submit the event information here.
The Cosy Space: Our physical shop is designed for lingering. Read, chill, meet a friend, or simply enjoy your quiet me-time soaking in some literary energy.
The Digital Commons: Join the conversations in our online forums and other bookish features offered.
At the centre of it all remains our carefully selected books. The shop isn’t an addition to the community; it’s the foundation of it.

Be Part Of Our Story
The Bookaholics Hub is more than our team; it’s everyone who walks through our doors, scrolls our online pages, and shares our passion. This community is built together, and there are many ways to join in.
For Readers & Book Lovers
Step inside, both online and at our physical store. Browse our shelves, join an event, make connections, donate your books for us to create more literary opportunities for the community. Let’s turn the chapters and pages together.
For Businesses & Community Partners
Our story continues outside our walls. We believe in the power of collaboration to foster literacy and build a stronger community through books.
We are actively seeking to partner with like-minded businesses, cafes, co-working spaces, and organisations. We provide the books, the literary expertise, and the passion. You provide the space and the audience.
Together, we can create:
Dedicated Reading Nooks & Mini-Libraries (like at The Great Cafe and The Story Book)
Curated Book Exchange Corners (like at Republik Damansara Heights)
Pop-up Bookshops and themed events
Sponsored literacy initiatives and reading programs
Let’s create something meaningful for our community.
