Vicki Laveau-Harvie’s Stella Prize-winning memoir, The Erratics, stays in the top spot as our bestselling book of last week. Readers everywhere are having a powerful response to the debut author’s memoir – a sharp, darkly funny and poignant account on the legacy of family.

ABIA award-winner Trent Dalton also sees his novel, Boy Swallows Universe, remain in the top 10. If you haven’t picked up a copy of this instant Australian classic yet, do so. This bestseller has taken the world by storm. It’s also great to see a range of diverse social commentary on the list – Jane Caro’s Accidental Feminists is essential reading and Natasha Scott Despoja’s On Violence is a powerful examination of family violence.

Readers are also loving award-winning author Sallie Muirden’s new novel, The Wedding Puzzle. With an almost ‘Austenesque’ appeal, The Wedding Puzzle is an entertaining and often tense comedy of manners reflecting on marriage and weddings.
