With the Autumnal season heading in to full swing, there's no greater time to sort out your reading list and curl up on the couch with a brand new book.

For our April book club we've selected some of the best new releases and bestselling favourites to inspire you to switch off the TV and get reading. Check them all out below!

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

$24.99 | dymocks.com.au

Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, except she's not. She lives a simple life in Glasgow, Scotland, where she works a simple office job surrounded by unimpressive colleagues. Following a turbulent and dangerous childhood, Eleanor is perfectly content with the quiet life she leads... until... one chance encounter sets her whole life into a spin. It's a heart-wrenching novel about loneliness, love and life that will have you in tears one moment, and laughing out loud the next. Filled with plot twists and clever narration, it's an engaging book you'll struggle to put down.

The film is set to be released on the 19th of April, giving readers plenty of time to indulge themselves in the captivating world of the protagonist, a strong-willed author named Juliet Ashton. Upon learning about a secret book club who survived German occupation in WWII, Miss Ashton visits the small British island of Guernsey in 1946 to meet with them and hear their stories. It's literally a book about a book club, and it's truly captivating.
