Readings Books

Latest Edition

October 2025

In the October Readings Monthly we have the full A Day in Carlton 2025 program! See pages 5 to 7 for the details of every event (over 30 this year!) taking place over the (slightly more than!) 24-hours of literary and cultural programming from Friday 14 to Saturday 15 November. Don’t leave it too late to book your tickets!

And the rest of the October Readings Monthly is packed with brilliant staff reviews, new releases and insights from the shop floor.
