True to form, Sally Rooney's Intermezzo has maintained its number one status this month, correctly proving the book is worth all the hype!

Two great Australian crime authors have released books this month: Christian White's The Ledge, a mind-bending novel where past and present run breathlessly, tensely parallel, leading to a cliff-hanger nobody will see coming; and Chris Hammer's The Valley, which sees the return of Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic in a page-turning plot with an evocative sense of place where nothing is ever quite what it seems.

More wonderful Australian content includes: the hotly anticipated new book from internet superstar Nagi Maehashi, RecipeTin Eats: Tonight; Robbie Arnott's Dusk; queen of vegetables Alice Zaslavsky's Salad for Days; head chef and restaurateur of Attica Ben Shewry's memoir Uses for Obsession: A (Chef's) Memoir, and Things Will Calm Down Soon by Zoë Foster Blake, a highly relatable novel following a talented hair stylist turned entrepreneur juggling family dramas, workplace near-catastrophes and relationship crises.
