Hemlock and Silver is a horror-tinged fairytale from bestselling author T Kingfisher. From Booklist: "This darkly comic tale of mirrors and apples mixed with a budding romance, masterfully recounted by a charmingly forthright main character, will appeal to fans of reimagined fantasy fables." Our catalog notes said the sprayed edges would be silver, but the finished product has more of lime green. No complaints - just an insight into the production journey.

10. Tonight in Jungleland, by Peter Ames Carlin
Robert Reich, Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton take top honors for Coming Up Short in another quiet week for hardcover nonfiction. Hoping September brings more high-profile releases. From the starred Booklist: "What Reich self-deprecatingly claims he lacks in physical stature, he more than makes up for in moral standing and civic pride...Clear-eyed and critical, Reich's assessment of where America is headed is both sobering and, characteristically, hopeful."

9. How Far the Light Reaches, by Sabrina Imbler
10. Common Ground, by Eileen Flanagan (Boswell September 15 event)
I don't think I've done a shout out for the paperback edition of The Chaos Machine: The Inside Story of How Social Media Rewired Our Minds and Our World and if I did, it's been a long time, since the book came out in paperback in 2023. It's the second showing here in three weeks. Just to show how prices are moving, is now only $6 cheaper than the hardcover. It's selling off of Kay's rec shelf. Three raves and five positives on BookMarks. For the last three months, Boswell has been the #1 store in sales on Edelweiss.

7. It's Taco Knight, by Megan Maynor, illustrations by Estrela Lourenço
8. Wild Robot on the Island, by Peter Brown
We don't usually have a first week pop on picture books without a superstar author/illustrator, and even then it can take a bit to warm up but several folks had their tummies tempted by It's Taco Knight, from Megan Maynor and Estrela Lourenço. From Kirkus: "Readers will practically be able to taste those crunchy tacos, savory soups, and cheesy pizza slices, thanks to the amusing text, which serves up clever culinary wordplay as the knights romp across the pages."
