Our ongoing enthusiasm for Australian fiction hasn’t abated this week - it’s lovely to see the the newly-crowned winner of the Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction, Elizabeth Tan’s Smart Ovens for Lonely People, on our bestsellers, along with an uplifting novel set in WWII, gripping coastal crime, and a sensitive story of healing through art and nature.

If you’re still hankering for some crime, then Lee Child’s latest Jack Reacher novel (number 25, if you can believe it!) has hit the shelves, and if you want some relatable reading for your difficult thirties, then Dolly Alderton’s debut novel will hit the spot.

Cafes and restaurants may be slowly opening up again, but we’re still relishing cooking at home, if our steady cookbook sales are anything to go by. Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage’s flavourful vegetable-based fare and Julia Busuttil Nishimura’s simple and seasonal family food are proving themselves to be consistent bestsellers.
