Our bestseller for March was the hotly-anticipated follow up to Readings' favourite baking book, Beatrix Bakes by superstar Natalie Paull. Beatrix Bakes: Another Slice is an all-new compilation of colourful, creative recipes to delight fans and newcomers alike. These are the cakes and desserts Paull has loved to eat since closing her cult cafe and bakery in inner Melbourne in 2022 – an essential companion for anyone who always leaves room for dessert. We recently tested some of the recipes, with Paull as our guest judge, the results of which can be found here.

Also making an appearance for the first time were Butter by Asako Yuzuki, and Polly Barton (trans.) the cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story; Orbital by Samantha Harvey, a Readings staff favourite which is a spellbinding and uplifting novel about six astronauts rotating in the International Space Station contemplating Earth below; What Happened to Nina? by Dervla McTiernan, a suspenseful new crime novel about two families pitted against each other; and Black Duck: A Year at Yumburra by Bruce Pascoe with Lyn Yarwood, a deeply personal story about the consequences and responsibility of disrupting Australia's history.

Amongst our regular entries, including The Bee Sting by Paul Murray and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, these new books are also worthy of note: 36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem by Nam Le, Until August by Gabriel García Márquez & Anne McLean (trans.) and The Shortest History of Economics by Andrew Leigh.
