It’s an all-Australian top ten this week, with Eva Orner’s powerful memoir about the making of her documentary, Chasing Asylum at number one.

Brand-new this week is Jane Harper’s highly anticipated debut novel, The Dry, which won the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript in 2015. Our staff are loving this gripping mystery - you can read some of our reflections on the book here, and our interview with the author here.

Magda Szubanski’s autobiography, Reckoning: A memoir, is back on our bestseller lists after winning the Book of the Year award at the Australian Book Industry Awards, and being named the Booksellers Choice by the Australian Booksellers Association.

At number 10, The Music that Maton Made is a comprehensive, full-colour tribute to a home-grown guitar range that has been embraced by famous musicians and guitar enthusiasts around the world. We are hosting a celebration of Maton guitars at our St Kilda shop on Thursday 9 June at 6:30pm. Find more information about this free event here.
