10. Sipsworth, by Simon Van Booy
In an unusual move, Wind and Truth, volume 5 of the Stormlight Archive, released on a Friday. Many years in the making and Sanderson's longest book (over 1300 pages) ever, it's the final book in the first arc, following 2020's Rhythm of War.
1. Well Plated Every Day, by Erin Clarke

4. The Backyard Bird Chronicles, by Amy Tan
5. The Demon of Unrest, by Erik Larson

7. The Hidden Life of Trees graphic adaptation, by Peter Wohlleben, Fred Bernard, Benjamin Flao
8. The Message, by Ta-Nehisi Coates
9. Freedom, by Angela Merkel
10. Why I Cook, by Tom Colicchio
The Hidden Life of Trees has been a phenomenon, not just in the sales it generated, but in the many different editions, including an The Hidden Life of Trees illustrated edition, Wisdom of the Hidden Life of Trees, and a kids version, Can You Hear the Trees Talking? And now The Hidden Life of Trees graphic edition, which to be clear, is different from the illustrated edition. Kay said the new edition is fabulous. Speaking of graphic, someone cam in looking for a Christmas-themed graphic novel. Any ideas?

2. Miracles Along County Q, by Mike McCabe
3. Orbital, by Samantha Harvey

5. The Frozen River, by Ariel Lawhon
6. Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir
7. The Hunter, by Tana French
8. A Bit Much, by Lyndsay Rush
9. Throne of Glass V1, by Sarah J Maas
10. Absolution, by Alice McDermott
Something I learned about Alice McDermott's Absolution. Recommend that someone in the book club read Graham Greene's The Quiet American. Also, make sure the customer doesn't buy the Jeff VanderMeer bestseller by mistake. It's also great, but maybe not what they want - plus it's the fourth book in a series.
1. The Rediscovery of America, by Ned Blackhawk
2. The Art Thief, by Michael Finkel

6. 60 Songs that Explain the 90s, by Rob Harvilla
7. An Entangled Life, by Merlin Sheldrake
8. Extra Extra Eat All About It, by Randi Julia Ramsden and Jan Conway
9. We Had Fun and Nobody Died, by Amy Waldman and Peter Jest
10. Unruly, by David Mitchell
I didn't really pay attention to 60 Songs That Explain the 90s in hardcover, but we had a decent sales pop off the paperback this past week. From Library Journal: "Written with the ultracasual and conversational style of his podcast, his book's personal anecdotes and thoughts on the origins and values of '90s music are consistently engaging; some readers might even be reminded of Chuck Klosterman's prose style."

7. Diary of a Wimpy Kid V19: Hot Mess, by Jeff Kinney
8. Santa's First Christmas, by Mac Barnett, illustrations by Sydney Smith
9. Buffalo Fluffalo, by Bess Kalb, illustrations by Erin Kraan
10. Impossible Creatures, by Katherine Rundell
Everybody's looking for the new holiday perennial, and maybe Mo Willems has one in Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh, which is having a very strong second year. Union Square, the publisher, formerly Sterling, was just sold by Barnes and Noble to Hachette Book Group. My guess is that the Mo Willems books are the big prize.
