Our best-seller from the past week is Johann Hari’s fantastic Stolen Focus, which takes a critical look at how much an individual can do to regain control of their attention span, while also investigating the potentially systemic issues that are wreaking havoc on our ability to focus.
Other books making an appearance on our bestseller list this week include the recent winner for Book of the Year at the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards, a work of translated historical fiction, and our Crime Book of the Month, which is a truly sensational debut from Australian author Shelley Burr.
