Our best-seller for another week running is Dr Norman Swan’s, So You Think You Know What’s Good for You?. Accessibly told, Swan draws on fact and professional experience to set the record straight on common misconceptions and myths surrounding our health.

Other books making an appearance on our bestseller list this week include a number of local releases. After Story by Larissa Behrendt has been described as ‘sprawling, cerebral and compassionate’ and tells the story of a fated mother-daughter trip, and the shared history which can bring them together or keep them apart. Another new addition to the bestseller list is The Newcomer – the latest novel from Laura Elizabeth Woollett. Many of our booksellers enjoyed her previous work, Beautiful Revolutionary and early word-of-mouth confirm her latest novel doesn’t disappoint. While being a compelling work of crime fiction, our reviewer notes The Newcomer also explores themes including gender stereotypes and violence against women. You can read our full review here.

And in local non-fiction, Julia Banks’ guide to navigating power dynamics in the workplace is a must-read for those who want to lead and be heard. In Power Play she pulls back the curtain to talk in real terms about everything from casual sexism to systemic misogyny.
