While it’s not listed here (we have a separate bestsellers list for children and young adult books here), our biggest seller for last week is the new treehouse adventure from Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton – The 65-Storey Treehouse.
We were delighted to host an event with this talented duo at The Athenaeum on Collins Street. You can find a photo of the audience attempting the (unofficial) world record for the most amount of people holding up a copy The 65-Storey Treehouse here.
Our top seller for adult books is Harper Lee’s controversial second novel, Go Set A Watchman, which continues to have literary communities buzzing. Other bestselling fiction include Gail Jones’ sixth novel, A Guide to Berlin, Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer prize-winning novel All the Light We Cannot See, and Haruki Murakami’s two earliest novels together in the one volume. These works have only just been published for the first time in English outside Japan.
