Bestseller List to 31 October

 

Auē by Becky Manawatu sits comfortably at number one for Fiction, having also taken out the Ngaio Marsh Book Award for Best Crime Novel at the WORD Christchurch Festival last Saturday (Mākaro Press) - but there are four hot new poetry books snapping at her heels. Chelsea Winter holds on to Non-Fiction for the fourth week with Supergood (Penguin Random House). And The Grinny Granny Donkey (Scholastic NZ) by Craig Smith hugs her way to top spot for Children/Teen books.
