Bluey, Bad Guys and Prince Harry are what Wyndham residents have been reading about in 2023 according to results released by Wyndham libraries.
The Bluey book proved almost as popular as the TV series, being the most borrowed children’s picture book and board book, ahead of another perrenial favourite, Eric Carl’s Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Aaron Blabey’s Bad Guy Series was the most popular children’s fiction ahead of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinny.
Prince Harry’s memoir Spare was the most borrowed adult non-fiction book, while Harry also proved popular in the young adult fiction category, with JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone coming second behind Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.
Colleen Hoover’s It Starts With Us was the most borrowed adult fiction book, Eiichirō Oda’s One Piece the young fiction graphic novel and Hidenori Kusaka’s Pokemon Adventures the children’s graphic novel.
Wyndham councillor Jasmine Hill welcomed the results.
“With a wide range of free book choices available for residents to read, from the
classic allure of a hardback to the modern ease of e-books and audiobooks, there is
something to cater for everyone’s interest and reading style,” Cr Hill said.
