Two Australian non-fiction titles top our bestsellers this week: Bob Carr’s Diary of a Foreign Minister and Betty Churcher’s Australian Notebooks. Next on the list is Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch which was awarded the Pulitzer price for fiction just last week.

Our list also includes Emma Ayres’s memoir/intercontinental cycling adventure/music guide - Cadence, John A Scott’s ‘weighty, significant contribution to the catalogue of Australian literature’ - N and Karen Joy Fowler’s new novel which our reviewer called perfect for book clubs - We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves.
