Another important book to be released this month, the new novel by Melbourne’s own #ChristosTsiolkas is now available at all of the Melbourne City Reads shops.

[Allen & Unwin @AllenAndUnwin]

#SevenAndAHalf is a breathtaking novel about finding joy & beauty in a raging & punitive world, about the refractions of memory & time. Most subversive of all, it's about the mystery of art & its creation from the award-winning author of Damascus & The Slap, #ChristosTsiolkas.

[Melbourne City Reads @melbcityreads]

Our highlighted book in November is the new poetry collection by local writer Maxine Beneba Clarke. Buy your copy for the special price of $20 (usually $26.99) from our shops: Dymocks Collins St, Readings, Mary Martin, Hill of Content, Paperback Bookshop & North Melbourne Books.

[Hachette Australia Books @HachetteAus]

we are all just one small disaster
away from sinking,
and sometimes you only realise
when you're gasping for air

#HowDecentFolkBehave is the new poetry collection from #MaxineBenebaClarke (@slamup), author of #TheHateRace.
