An anthology tops last week’s list of bestselling books. In The Motherhood, editor Jamila Rizvi presents a selection of essays on early motherhood.

Growing Up Aboriginal in Australia is another anthology that’s proving popular with Readings customers. Editor Anita Heiss has compiled a collection of short memoir from a range of Indigenous voices, including well-known authors and high-profile identities.

We’re also pleased to see two brilliant non-fiction works from Indigenous writers listed here: Marcia Langton: Welcome to Country is a curated guidebook to Indigenous Australia and the Torres Strait Islands. Tracker is Alexis Wright’s award-winning memoir of Indigenous leader, Tracker Tilmouth.

The highest selling fiction includes novels from Australians Tim Winton (The Shepherd’s Hut) and Heather Morris (The Tattooist of Auschwitz), as well as Gail Honeyman’s word-of-mouth-bestseller, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and Carmen Maria Machado’s blistering story collection, Her Body and Other Parties, which is quickly becoming a staff favourite this year.
