Readings Books

Latest Edition

March 2026

In the March Readings Monthly, we have our head book buyer Alison Huber’s round-up of the most anticipated books of the year, which is essential annual reading. There’s a behind-the-scenes insight into the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards night and celebration of the winners. We also have the recipients of The Readings Foundation’s 2026 grants (full details on our blog here) and a delectable recipe for Brown Butter Madeleines from the debut baking book by the team behind Carlton’s Madeleine de Proust!
