It's relatively unusual for the big book clubs to pick a selection months after release date, quite a change from the original Oprah's book club, which picked several titles out of publishing obscurity. Don't worry, the new Reese pick, Yellowface, is still a hardcover.

10. The Heat Will Kill You First, by Jeff Gooddell
While most books have a Tuesday on-sale date, James Patterson titles release on Monday, and many independent presses have random weekdays as pub date (not on-sale date, you can generally put these out as they arrive), a Sunday on-sale is almost unknown. But that's the case for the BTS book Beyond the Story. We still have some gift-with-purchase premiums for buyers.

10. Cult Classic, by Sloane Crosley
We had a pop in sales for Tatami Galaxy, but I don't actually think this was for the Books and Beer Book Club, which meets tomorrow. We might see another appearance next week. Tomihiko Morimi's novel was shortlisted for the PEN translation prize. It was described as Midnight Library-esque.

A movie in theaters spurs book sales? How old-fashioned! But that's the case for American Prometheus, which is breaking with the release of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Variety gathers up the first critical impressions, which are enthusiastic.

Now that's more like it. Nimona is back on bestseller lists, spurred by the Netflix streaming series debut. The original release was a National Book Award finalist. Here's the Entertainment Weekly review of the series.
