9. Katabasis, by RF Kuang
10. Atmosphere, by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Coming around the same time as the Netflix adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club is the fifth book in the series, The Impossible Fortune. From Library Journal: "The crime, though ingeniously plotted, with many red herrings, is not the main attraction. It's the growing love and respect among the Thursdays and their kith and kin, including a few criminals and cops, that is the biggest draw." It's a good week for mysteries, as Ann Cleeves has the first in her Perez and Reeves series with The Killing Stones, though i's a spinoff, of sorts, of the Shetland series.

10. The Art of Gluten-Free Bread, by Aran Goyoaga
The host of the For the Love podcast, chronicles her divorce after 26 years and its aftermath in her new memoir Awake. Previously published by Christian presses, the publisher is expecting a mainstream breakout in the vein of Glennon Doyle or Mel Robbins, who also blurbed the book. From a starred Booklist: "The questions Hatmaker asks herself - what excites her, and what does she care about--will resonate with readers facing their own challenges."

8. Little Alleluias, by Mary Oliver
9. The Tainted Cup, by Robert Jackson Bennett
10. Somewhere Beyond the Sea, by TJ Klune
I always think of Mary Oliver being published primarily by Penguin Press and Beacon, but another formerly Boston-area-based imprint also released her work at one point. What were once DaCapo titles are now Grand Central. Little Alleluias: Collected Poetry and Prose is collected from three books in the early 2000s, per the publisher - the book-length poem The Leaf and the Cloud, the collection What Do We Know, and essays from Long Life.

10. Didion and Babitz, by Lili Anolik
There's a new edition (new jacket, new introduction) of So Many Books, 2nd Edition: Reading and Publishing in an Age of Abundance, from the Mexican poet Gabriel Zaid (a variation on Mary Oliver's repackaging above), translated by Natasha Wimmer. Our buyer bought a stack for our front table, and it worked. But there are only 5 copies on hand and one on order at the Ingram warehouses, including Jackson. Where are the books for restocking?

10. Peekaboo Pumpkin, by Camilla Reid, illustrations by Ingela P Arrhenius
Buffalo Fluffalo and Puffalo is the sequel to a very beloved picture book (and #1 NYT bestseller) that is what must be known in the business as the "new sibling sequel." From Kirkus: "Fluffalo mentors the loving Puffalo, including the baby in his daily activities and fielding (some of) Puff's many questions. Readers with younger siblings will appreciate the subtle acknowledgment that Fluffalo's new role can be taxing, but overall, the tale affirms the joy of mentoring, while the colorful, stylized art perfectly complements the upbeat verse. It's easy to imagine an older child reading this story to a younger one at bedtime. An endearing ode to big siblinghood."
