Bruce Pascoe’s Dark Emu continues its run at the top of our weekly top 10! As ever, it’s a pleasure to see readers young and old connect with this remarkable look at this country’s history.

And then we look to the future, with inspirational and illuminating books by Mark Manson and Greta Thunberg hitting the top 10. In Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope, internationally bestselling author Mark Manson takes us by the collar with a mix of humour and erudition and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connect with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. And No One is Too Small to Make a Difference is a collection of rousing speeches from 15-year-old Greta Thunberg, the young climate change activist making headlines worldwide.

And for those readers looking for a memoir with heart, Alice to Prague by Tanya Heaslip is well worth a look. It’s a rich and charming true account that will take you from the red dust of Outback Australia to the historic buildings of Prague with a healthy dose of adventure and romance.
