We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending November 30, 2014–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #10 in Hardcover Fiction) Hope to Die: The Return of Alex Cross by James Patterson: “Detective Alex Cross is being stalked by a psychotic genius, forced to play the deadliest game of his career. Cross’s family–his loving wife Bree, the wise and lively Nana Mama, and his precious children–have been ripped away. Terrified and desperate, Cross must give this mad man what he wants if he has any chance of saving the most important people in his life. The stakes have never been higher: What will Cross sacrifice to save the ones he loves?” (November 2014)
(Debuted at #14 in Children’s Interest) Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson: “Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child’s soul as she searches for her place in the world.” (August 2014)
(Debuted at #15 in Hardcover Nonfiction) You Can’t Make This Up by Al Michaels: “Michaels shares never-before-told stories from his early years and his rise to the top, covering some of the greatest moments of the past half century—from the ‘Miracle on Ice’—the historic 1980 Olympic hockey finals—to the earthquake that rocked the 1989 World Series. Some of the greatest names on and off the field are here—Michael Jordan, Bill Walton, Pete Rose, Bill Walsh, Peyton and Eli Manning, Brett Favre, John Madden, Howard Cosell, Cris Collinsworth, and many, many more.” (November 2014)
