Bruce Pascoe’s groundbreaking history book, Dark Emu, continues to find its way to new readers, once again taking the top spot on our bestsellers list. A couple of notable new releases also appear here. From Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Carol D. Leonnig and Philip Rucker, A Very Stable Genius takes stock of Trump’s tenure in the US presidency and its reverberations on global democracy, and Kiley Reid’s Such a Fun Age is one of the most hyper fiction debuts of the year – so far at least!

Last week also saw the announcement of this year’s Victorian Premier’s Literary Award winners, including Christos Tsiolkas for Fiction. Read our head book buyer’s rave review of his award-winning novel here.
