Discover Summer’s best new books!

Reading Guide

Summer 2026 edition 

Welcome to the new edition of our Reading Guide!

Booksellers from across Australia have hand-selected and reviewed the season’s must reads and have gathered them here for you. From cover to cover, you’ll find a selection of books that are being lovingly pressed into your hands by booksellers, to cherish and gift to loved ones.

Delve into Australian history with non-fiction that matters, discover new worlds from debut novelists and be welcomed back by literary masters. Whether you’re the type to keep your books in pristine condition, dog-ear, bookmark, or scribble in the margins, you can do the same with this guide.

Happy reading!
