Scott Pape (AKA the Barefoot Investor) is our bestselling author of last week. His new money guide demonstrates how to ‘create an entire financial plan that is so simple you can sketch it on the back of a serviette’.

Other bestselling Australian non-fiction books of last week include three memoirs – Mark Colvin’s Light and Shadow, Clementine Ford’s Fight Like a Girl and Tim Winton’s The Boy Behind the Curtain – as well as a delicious vegan cookbook that has appeal for herbivores and carnivores alike, Smith & Daughters.

Fiction readers are continuing to devour Hannah Kent’s moving new historical novel, The Good People, as well as this year’s Man Booker Prize winner, The Sellout.

And we’re delighted to see that Simon Griffin’s very funny guide to apostrophes is proving so popular. The perfect stocking stuffer for the pendant in your life, we love this book so much that we built a Christmas tree out of copies of it.
