Editor of the iconic Little Golden Books Diane Muldrow is back up to the top of our bestsellers list with her nostalgia-drenched guide-to-life, Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book.

Hannah Kent’s Burial Rites is also still proving to be a favourite read, and not just for Readings customers! Last week she was included in the Stella Prize longlist, along with eleven other authors. You can see the full list of titles here.

Another top seller for last week is Scott Stossel’s My Age of Anxiety. Drawing on his own long-standing battle with anxiety, Stossel presents an astonishing history, at once intimate and authoritative, of the efforts to understand the condition from medical, cultural, philosophical and experiential perspectives.
