Legendary Australian singer-songwriter Archie Roach’s intimate and moving memoir Tell Me Why: The Story of My Life and My Music is our number one bestseller this week, followed by Helen Garner’s Yellow Notebook: Diaries Volume One, 1978-1987, in its first week of publication. Elizabeth Strout is much loved by Readings staff and customers alike, so it’s no surprise to see Olive, Again, the follow-up to the Pulitzer-Prize-winning Olive Kitteridge among our top books.

There are also some real stayers on our bestseller list at the moment, as Damascus by Christos Tsiolkas, The Weekend by Charlotte Wood, Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe and Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow continue to inspire, provoke and delight.
