Helen Garner is now our top selling author for the fourth week in a row. Everywhere I Look gathers together a selection of her short non-fiction works from over the past 15 years. Managing Director Mark Rubbo writes: “This is a fine collection that offers many delights to the reader.”

Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel All the Light We Cannot See sits at number two – which feels rather appropriate given then the 2016 Pulitzer Prize winners are due to be announced in less than 24 hours (around 5am in Melbourne).

Our bestsellers list also includes two exciting new stories featuring tow of our favourite literary detectives: The Waters of Eternal Youth by Donna Leon, and The Other Side of Silence by Philip Kerr. If you’re a dedicated crime reader, Fiona Hardy shares her top crime reads of the month here.

And in Australian fiction, there’s Emily Maguire’s powerful new novel. An Isolated Incident is a psychological thriller about the media’s obsession with pretty dead girls. You can read our review of this novel here.
