1. Klara and the Sun, by Kazuo Ishiguro
2. Leonard and Hungry Paul, by Rónán Hession
3. Send for Me, by Lauren Fox
4. Brood, by Jackie Polzin
5. The Committed, by Viet Thanh Nguyen
6. Hamnet, by Maggie O'Farrell
7. The Four Winds, by Kristin Hannah
8. Anxious People, by Fredrik Backman
9. The Breaker, by Nick Petrie
10. Win, by Harlan Cobin
Harlan Cobin is best known for his stand-alones, but Win is a spin on his Myron Bolitar series, which he actually started writing before his breakout. This book features Bolitar's sideick.
We should have Jane Hamilton's conversation with Jackie Polzin for Brood up soon. A bookplate may still be available, but based on our sales, we might already be out of them - definitely ask if you want on. Alas, we generally don't post videos of our ticketed events so Ishiguro won't live in our archive, but the conversation for Klara and the Sun was pretty great. I love the way he talks about making his books memorable after you read them.

It's a nice first week for Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself, by therapist Nedra Glover Tawwab. I'm still trying to figure out why we had the interest, as nothing's coming up on the internet news feed. There is this nice piece in the UK Good Housekeeping from Megan Sutton, but it's hard for me to believe that this article would have much pull!

So excited to see my book club paperback push for Lakewood having an effect.

Also would like to give a shout out to Peter Cameron, who is a finalist for What Happens at Night.

Out this week is The New York Times Cooking No-Recipe Recipes from Sam Sifton, based on the website and mobile app feature. From the Publishers Weekly review: "The dishes are geared toward those with at least some familiarity with cooking (readers are told, for instance, to produce a pot of rice "as you always do" for a dried fruit and almond pilaf), and capable home cooks will appreciate how no-recipe recipes allow them to make flexible, tasty dishes without getting bogged down in details or overbearing instructions. Innovative, fun, and freeing, this outstanding offering will reenergize the creative spirits of novice and experienced home cooks alike."

From the starred Booklist for Starfish: "Fipps hands her young narrator several difficult life lessons, including how to self-advocate, how not to internalization of the words of others, and what it means to defend yourself. Ellie's story will delight readers who long to see an impassioned young woman seize an unapologetic victory."
