Abstract
This study investigates the circulation and reception of six bestsellers between Canada and Australia (2005–2014). We ask which contemporary bestselling books travel between Canada and Australia, how and by whom these books are mediated, and how they are received by readers. Through content analysis of Canadian and Australian print media mentions and online reader reviews (n = 4407), we find variation in reception of bestsellers, influenced by genre and author profile. Bestsellers’ national origins are usually disregarded by media and reader reviews.
