Another week, another lockdown – but as always, we’re grateful to have an abundance of fantastic reading to help us through. This week’s bestsellers include a historical espionage thriller, a beginner’s guide to Australian birds and bird watching, an insightful anthology about growing up disabled in Australia, and a critical look at the history of colonisation and settlement in Australia.

In this week of uncertainty, it seems readers have returned to some of our 2020 fiction favourites including, the heartbreaking yet hopeful, Sorrow and Bliss, and the award-winning The Animals in that Country.
