As 2024 settles we are starting to get excited about the year ahead and what treats we have in store for you. You may have already read our head book buyer's Most Anticipated Books of 2024 so will know it's going to be another excellent year. Our February bestsellers still reflect the past few months of amazing books but you will notice our shelves are beginning to bulge again with countless new titles.

The top two positions for February were the same books as January but in a different order: The Bee Sting by Paul Murray and Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. There's still a lot of love, and rightly so, for Question 7 by Richard Flanagan, Lola in the Mirror by Trent Dalton, Wifedom by Anna Funder and The Readings New Australian Fiction Prize-winner All That's Left Unsaid by Tracey Lien.

New to the list was the third book in the popular Crescent City 'romantasy' series by Sarah J. Maas, House of Flame and Shadow. Also making an appearance for the first time were: In Bad Faith by Dassi Erlich, a powerful memoir which gives extraordinary insight into a secretive sect, and the horror Dassi Erlich had to survive. Her resilience and fight for justice is inspiring; Kind of, Sort of Maybe, But Probably Not by Imbi Neeme, a charming, nostalgic, quirky, uplifting novel of people young and old finding their tribe, gaining courage to be themselves and perhaps falling in love, too; We All Lived in Bondi Then by multi-award-winner Georgia Blain, a powerful collection of previously unpublished stories.
