Recent memoirs from Clementine Ford and Tim Winton are also continuing to prove popular, and we’re delighted to see so many of our customers reading our 2016 Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction winner: Zoë Morrison’s Music and Freedom. We love this novel, and you can read some comments from our judges here.

Last week we launched two wonderful Australian non-fiction books: newsman Mal Walden’s memoir of his 60 years on television, and Sarah Martin’s inspiring true story behind non-profit organisation, Bush Heritage Australia. Both have made it on our bestsellers list.

This year’s Man Booker Prize for Fiction was announced last week, and our congratulations again to American author Paul Beatty who also appears here. The Sellout is a laugh-out-loud, blistering satire on race relations in contemporary America. Read more here.
