After a wonderfully intimate luncheon event last week with the author herself, Betty Churcher’s Australian Notebooks remains our top seller. You can see a photo of Betty chatting with our Managing Director Mark Rubbo just here.

Also included on our list this week are two new Australian non-fiction titles: Bob Carr’s Diary of a Foreign Minister documenting 18 months in politics and Michael Gordon’s Playing To Win, a must-read for AFL fans. In Australian fiction we have Hannah Kent’s Bailey’s Prize / Stella Prize shortlisted Burial Rites and the latest Sleepers Alamanac featuring an amazing array of home-grown stories.

The new book from Michael Lewis (author of Moneyball and The Blind Side) also appears in our bestsellers - Flash Boys is a fast-paced thriller about high frequency trading on the US stock market. Our Carlton store manager Robbie Egan calls it “a cracking read”.
