We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending September 18, 2016–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #1 in Hardcover Fiction) Commonwealth by Ann Patchett: “When, in her twenties, Franny begins an affair with the legendary author Leon Posen and tells him about her family, the story of her siblings is no longer hers to control. Their childhood becomes the basis for his wildly successful book, ultimately forcing them to come to terms with their losses, their guilt, and the deeply loyal connection they feel for one another.” (September 2016)
(Debuted at #1 in Early & Middle Grade Readers) Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier: “Catrina and her family are moving to the coast of Northern California because her little sister, Maya, is sick. Cat isn’t happy about leaving her friends for Bahía de la Luna, but Maya has cystic fibrosis and will benefit from the cool, salty air that blows in from the sea. As the girls explore their new home, a neighbor lets them in on a secret: There are ghosts in Bahía de la Luna.” (September 2016)
(Debuted at #11 in Young Adult) The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee: “Welcome to Manhattan, 2118. A hundred years in the future, New York is a city of innovation and dreams. But people never change: everyone here wants something…and everyone has something to lose.” (August 2016)
