Australia's favourite independent bookshop

Thank you for shopping local in 2025!


If you're on the hunt for something to read over your summer holidays, something to keep the kids entertained, or if you have a Readings gift voucher burning a hole in your pocket, we are sharing some inspiration from the The Readings blog below. You can also browse a comprehensive round-up of the best books of 2025, and of course our Summer Reading Guide has something for everyone!


We look forward to seeing you in 2026 for another year of wonderful books and incredible events. We'll be hitting the ground running with an inspiring conversation between Ben Crowe and Ash Barty, the inaugural Readings Readers Retreat at La Gonette in France, and the return of our (even bigger and better) Hidden Treasures Fiction Book Club! 
Readings acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we work. We pay respects to all First Nations people of Australia, and recognise their connection to the land. Sovereignty was never ceded.
