A ‘best of’ post you’ll want to read

We’re getting to that time of year when ‘best of 2023’ lists start to be sprinkled across your feeds.

Here’s one you you want and need as we head towards summer holidays, when many of us catch up on the reading we wish there was time to do during the year.

Angus and Robertson have helpfully pulled out the top Australian reads, with fiction and non-fiction options to suit everyone.

What will be on ASH’s summer reading pile:

• Storytelling by Leigh Sales, to be a fly on the wall when Leigh chats to other well known Australian journos on all things news

• Bush Flowers, because you know how we love mixing local and imported blooms

• The In-Between by Christos Tsolkias, one of our favourite Australian authors whose writing is equal parts real and mystical

• Green Dot by Madeleine Gray, because we love a bit of wit and to recall the days when we weren’t quite ready to adult.

• Lola in the Mirror, the newbie from Trent Dalton who brought us international bestseller Boy Swallows Universe

• Bright Shining by Julia Beard, quite simply because we all need a whole lot more of the magical attribute that is grace.

And ones we’ll be buying as Christmas gifts:

• Dark Mode and The Drowning by Bryan Brown - great Australian crime novels our mystery loving Mums will love

• Bhutan to Blacktown, a remarkable story of loss and gain, remarkably told by award winning journalist James Button that will be a favourite gift of the biography fans.

• For the foodies, we will be gifting secrets of home entertaining through The Dinner Party

• The New Modernist House, for the design and home loving crew

• And no explanation needed here Cup Countdown! Sam Kerr
