What’s Hot in the Media 7th December 2009
The festive fever has finally hit the book media–reviewers and readers put their Christmas book choices forward in a national effort to inspire book lovers in their Christmas purchases this season. Peter Carey’s new book Parrot and Olivier in America came in at number one, followed closely by Tom Keneally’s Australians: Origins to Eureka and Ray Martin’s autobiography Ray: Stories of My Life. Let’s hope that the enthusiasm for local titles in our media translates to Christmas dollars for our authors.
