Three prominent Australians nabbed some of the top spots on our Most Mentioned chart this week. It's Tim Winton's second week in a row as number one with his new novel Breath. Australian comedienne Judith Lucy has now put pen to paper to produce The Lucy Family Alphabet, which is a bit of a tribute to Judith's eccentric family.

Finally, Bob Carr has written a book that's getting a bit of attention. My Reading Life is not about politics at all, but about the fiction and nonfiction books that have left an impression on NSW's former Premier.

Most Mentioned in the Media this week:

1 Breath by Tim Winton

2 Lucy Family Alphabet, The by Judith Lucy

3 My Reading Life by Bob Carr

4 Stanley and Sophie by Kate Jennings

5 Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures by Vincent Lam
