We’ve collected the hardcover books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending April 10, 2011–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #1) Bossypants by Tina Fey: “From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon — from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we’ve all suspected: you’re no one until someone calls you bossy.” (April 2011)
(Debuted at #8) Horoscopes for the Dead by Billy Collins: “Billy Collins is widely acknowledged as a prominent player at the table of modern American poetry. And in this new collection, Horoscopes for the Dead, the verbal gifts that earned him the title “America’s most popular poet” are on full display. The poems here cover the usual but everlasting themes of love and loss, life and death, youth and aging, solitude and union.” (April 2011)
(Debuted at #12) All That Is Bitter and Sweet by Ashley Judd: “Now, in this deeply moving and unforgettable memoir, Ashley Judd describes her odyssey, as a left-behind lost child attains international prominence as a fiercely dedicated advocate. Her story ranges from anger to forgiveness, isolation to interdependence, depression to activism. In telling it, she resoundingly answers the ineffable question about the relationship between healing oneself and service to others.” (April 2011)
