15. Before the Coffee Gets Cold V1, by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
James is outselling our #2 fiction book by three-to-one and the #1 nonfiction book by two-to-one. If we had The Serviceberry in stock, that would not be the case. I went to 15 titles on this list because the #15 book is outselling the #10 book on the other three adult lists. Plus I am hand-selling #12, 13, and 14 and I wanted to list them.
And one last thing to note - Small Things Like These, the current Oprah pick, has been in hardcover only since 2021. But Before the Coffee Gets Cold has had no paperback since its release in 2020. I am happy to say I liked them both, but I hardly expected a multi-year run.
