Australian non-fiction once again dominates our bestsellers list with books from writers Helen Garner, Niki Savva, Thornton McCamish, Stan Grant and George Megalogenis all taking the top five spots. International non-fiction titles include Michael Mosley’s The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet, which features a diet and lifestyle plan to help readers tackle Type 2 diabetes, and Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air, which our reviewer called, “profoundly moving and powerful”.

In fiction, there’s the first of Elena Ferrante’s deservingly popular Neapolitan novels, My Brilliant Friend, Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See, and Hanya Yanagihara’s heartbreaking epic A Little Life. We’re so excited that Yanagihara will be visiting Melbourne in the coming months – find details about her event with the Wheeler Centre here.
