June's most borrowed books

The crisp, cold air and icy mornings are making the decision to stay indoors that much easier. Who cares about FOMO? A cosy day inside with a good book is reason enough to cancel your plans. If you're looking for an excuse to stay home and cancel plans, read this blog.

Last month, some skiers may have been carving up the slopes, but our readers were busy making a dent in the TBR piles stacked on their (digital) shelves. If you managed to do both, we applaud you! Fiction lovers had plenty to choose from. With the buzz surrounding its film adaptation, it's no surprise Andy Weir's sci-fi adventure Project Hail Mary has become a favourite among readers. And if you're after a story that will keep you guessing, Yesteryear delivers the perfect blend of satire and psychological thriller.

Non-fiction readers, we haven't forgotten about you. Atomic Habits, The Let Them Theory, The Courage to Be Disliked, Strangers, This House of Grief, and many more found their way onto readers' TBRs.

These were the books readers across Australia and New Zealand loved borrowing throughout June. If you missed them the first time around, now's your chance to see what all the buzz was about. If you'd like more trending titles, new releases, and seasonal reading recommendations curated specifically for readers across Australia and New Zealand, subscribe to the Libby Life newsletter, and get local reading inspiration delivered straight to your inbox.
