Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life, is our bestselling book of the past week. This is no surprise given its appearance on multiple literary prize shortlists (including the Man Booker), as well as countless ‘best books of the year’ lists (including our own). This is the epic story of how an intense friendship between four men evolves over thirty years, and of the devastating effects of childhood trauma.

Other top sellers include two books that would make excellent stocking stuffers for adults: This Annoying Life is Oslo Davis’ response to the adult colouring craze, and In Praise of Idleness is Bertrand Russell’s celebrated essay together with notes and illustrations from Bradley Trevor Greive.
