Whether you’re for it or against it, the colouring craze doesn’t look like it’s going to pass us by any time soon with six colouring books as bestsellers for the past week!

Our number one seller this week, and for the seventh week in a row, is French illustrator Emma Farrarons’ The Mindfulness Colouring Book. Equally noteworthy is the fact that Scottish illustrator Johanna Basford is behind three of these six bestselling colouring books (Enchanted Forest, Secret Garden, Enchanted Forest: 20 Postcards).

Also included on our list are two award-winning novels from Australian women: Sofie Laguna’s The Eye of the Sheep is this year’s winner of the Miles Franlin Literary Award and Emily Bitto’s The Strays is the winner of this year’s Stella Prize.
