1. Katabasis, by RF Kuang
2. James, by Percival Everett
3. The Hallmarked Man, by Robert Galbraith
4. Wild Reverence, by Rebecca Ross
5. The Phoebe Variations, by Jane Hamilton (Boswell September 30 event)
6. Atmosphere, by Taylor Jenkins Reid
7. Apostle's Cove, by William Kent Krueger (Boswell September 17 event)
8. Buckeye, by Patrick Ryan (November 5- Ozaukee Family Services Luncheon coming)
9. The Emperor of Gladness, by Ocean Vuong
10. Rose in Chains, by Julie Soto
Wild Reverence is a stand-alone prequel to the Letters of Enchantment series. From Gina Collett in Library Journal: "This tale of thriving after abuse and finding renewed hope in love leaves readers with a brutal, yet achingly romantic story." This is one of three books in the top 10, the others being Katabasis and Rose in Chains, that sold in both the regular and deluxe editions last week.
1. Mission Driven, by Mike Hayes
2. Destroy This House, by Amanda Uhle (signed copies)
3. Mother Mary Comes to Me, by Arundhati Roy
4. Baldwin: A Love Story, by Nicholas Boggs
5. Burning Down the House, by Jonathan Gould
6. What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking, by Caroline Chambers
7. It Doesn't Have to Hurt, by Sanjay Gupta
8. Coming Up Short, by Robert Reich
9. What's on Her Mind, by Allison Daminger (Boswell September 10 event)
10. Everything Is Tuberculosis, by John Green
Arundhati Roy has mostly been writing political essays in the years since the Booker-winning The God of Small Things, but Mother Mary Comes to Me is also a memoir. She's got 7 raves, a positive, and a mixed on BookMarks. I love that they decided that the excerpt from May-Lee Chai's review in the Star Tribune should be the single word "coruscating." I had to look it up - "flashing" or "scathing." I suspect the latter.
1. It Had to Be Him, by Adib Khorram (signed copies)
2. I Think They Love You, by Julian Winters (signed copies)
3. The Lion Women of Tehran, by Marjan Kamali
4. First Lie Wins, by Ashley Elston
5. When the Cranes Fly South, by Lisa Ridzén
6. Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut
7. Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir
8. The History of Sound, by Ben Shattuck
9. Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller
10. 1984, by George Orwell
The national bestseller lists usually see a resurgence of The Glass Castle and Born a Crime, books used in a lot of classes, and we similarly saw some classics pop into our top 10, but they were Slaughterhouse Five and 1984. First Lie Wins, however, was a book club that bought all their books together, which used to be more common in the past.
1. Don't Say Please, by Sahan Jayasuriya
2. When Women Ran Fifth Avenue, by Julie Satow
3. AI Snake Oil, by Arvind Narayanan and Sayesh Kapoor
4. A Sheepdog Named Oscar, by Dara Waldron (Boswell October 30 event)
5. Braiding Sweetgrass, by Robin Wall Kimmerer
6. There's Always This Year, by Hanif Abudrraqib
7. The Year of the Tiger, by Alice Wong
8. All the Beauty of the World, by Patrick Bringley
9. A Brief History of the World in 47 Borders, by John Elledge
10. Mary Nohl Inside and Out, by Barbara Manger and Janine Smith
Nice to see AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can't, and How to Tell the Difference, one of my hardcover picks from last year, have a good first week on sale. It's also selling well at Ingram - they have more on order. I am a big fan of the paperback color change, while keeping the same design - this book went from black to red.
1. Wish, by Barbara O'Connor

8. Rite of Passage, by Richard Wright
9. Sunrise on the Reaping, by Suzanne Collins
10. White Lies, by Ann Bausum
Sisters in the Wind is the current GMA YA book club selection. Publishers Weekly noted: " It's a devastating yet gripping tale of finding family, recontextualizing faith, and reclaiming ancestry that serves as a searing critique of the ways that systems can fail vulnerable youth." it's also recommended by both Tim and McKenna at Boswell.
