Hardcover Fiction (and poetry, even when the poetry is on a nonfiction subject I guess):
1. Twist, by Colum McCann
2. 33 Place Brugmann, by Alice Austen
3. The Sequel, by Jean Hanff Korelitz (signed copies)
4. Homicide in the Indian Hills, by Erica Ruth Neubauer
5. Poems of Parenting, by Loryn Brantz

7. The Dream Hotel, by Laila Lalami
8. James, by Percival Everett
9. The Paris Express, by Emma Donoghue
10. We'll Prescribe You a Cat, by Syou Ishida
Apparently Poems of Parenting is hitting the nerve. Loryn Brantz's humorous and often insightful collection is out of stock at three of the four Ingram warehouses. Here's Brantz talking to Deepa Fernandes on NPR's Here and Now: “I didn't really think of it as a book at first. It was more like my children kind of broke me open and all these poems started pouring out,” she said. “It was like mind, body, and spirit – broke.” An early Happy Mother's Day to you!

10. The Let Them Theory, by Mel Robbins
If you've ever wondered how much a local setting affects book sales, James Marten's latest history, The Sixth Wisconsin and the Long Civil War has sold more than five times the copies of his last book that had a Boswell event, America's Corporal: James Tanner in War and Peace. From Lawrence Mello in Library Journal: "Marten's account offers a detailed exploration of the war's long-term impact. The book's literary quality is exceptional, presenting a well-researched and engaging narrative that captivates from start to finish."

9. Table for Two, by Amor Towles
10. Letter to the Luminous Deep V1, by Sylvie Cathrall
For some reason, I had not one but two discussions about dark romance in the last two weeks. I guess I could have showed them Gothikana, which hits our paperback bestseller list after a run in hardcover. From Publishers Weekly: "RuNyx balances this epic romance with danger: students at Verenmore have been dying by suicide for years, while others go missing at the school's infamous Black Ball, a fabled masquerade dance. Could Corvina be next? The author's delight in all things gothic is clear, and she leans into both the romance and the darkness. Her unflinching examination of mental health, suicide, alienation, and sexual power dynamics is especially commendable. This brazen, page-turning love story is a winner." Once we're out of signed copies, there's a new ISBN.

First he berates them personally, then rates them scientifically, using his new Bird Universal Mathematical Modeling and Ranking system (BUMMR), which is based on his groundbreaking Framework for Universal Karmic Ratings (FUKRs)."

We had several preorder inquiries (not just orders, but folks making sure we were getting copies) for Lauren Roberts Fearless, the latest entry in The Powerless Trilogy, a romantic fantasy about Elites and Ordinaries in the Kindom of Ilya who compete in the Purging Trials. From Publishers Weekly, which reviewed Powerless, the first book in the series: "Paedyn and Kai's alternating POVs skillfully juxtapose steamy romantic encounters with heart-pounding action and gory violence, delivering a tale of political and personal intrigue"
