Shelf Care: The Best New Book Releases By Aussie Female Authors

At Refinery29 Australia, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team, but we may earn commission or other compensation from the links on this page.

In an effort to minimise screentime, many of us are turning to physical paperbacks for comfort. Some game enough are swapping their evening TikTok scroll for nighttime literature (no, not that kind of literature), and others are starting to stockpile beach reads for the warmer days ahead.

But getting stuck into a book isn't easy for everyone, and reading dry spells are more common than we’d like to admit. Luckily, we have a plethora of talented Australian women penning delicious reads for us.

Whether it's non-fiction or fiction that tickles your fancy, these writers’ new releases are worth adding to your ‘must read’ pile.
