Dymocks September Young Adults Book of the Month is Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games Book 3: Mockingjay.

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has twice survived the Hunger Games. But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena alive, she's still not safe.


The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge . . .


Who do they think should pay for the unrest?


Katniss Everdeen.

Dymocks' September Book of the Month is Philippa Gregory's The Red Queen

The second book in Philippa's stunning new trilogy, The Cousins War, brings to life the story of Margaret Beaufort, a shadowy and mysterious character in the first book of the series - The White Queen - but who now takes centre stage in the bitter struggle of The War of the Roses.


The Red Queen tells the story of the child-bride of Edmund Tudor, who, although widowed in her early teens, uses her determination of character and wily plotting to infiltrate the house of York under the guise of loyal friend and servant, undermine the support for Richard III and ultimately ensure that her only son, Henry Tudor, triumphs as King of England. Through collaboration with the dowager Queen Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret agrees a betrothal between Henry and Elizabeth's daughter, thereby uniting the families and resolving the Cousins War once and for all by founding of the Tudor dynasty.

2010 Miles Franklin Literary Award

Peter Temple’s crime novel Truth has won the 2010 Miles Franklin Literary Award, presented last night at a ceremony in Sydney.


Michael Heyward of Text publishing told the Weekly Book Newsletter he was ‘over the moon’, following Temple’s win. He said Truth had ‘changed the possibility of the crime novel’. ‘Truth is a crime novel but also a novel about crime. It’s a contemporary tragedy,’ he said.


Temple’s acceptance speech, full of self-deprecating humour, went down well with the audience. He used it to ponder the trajectory of the Miles Franklin award, which began with Patrick White and had now led to his win, suggesting--and it was difficult to tell if he was joking--that White would ‘think it unthinkable’ that he had won.The South Africa-born author also added, and this time seriously, that he hoped ‘the Miles Franklin would put an end to the matter of my “Australian-ness”’.
