We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending August 16, 2015–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #10 in Paperback Fiction) Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty: “Sometimes it’s the little lies that turn out to be the most lethal. A murder…A tragic accident…Or just parents behaving badly? What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.” (August 2015)
(Debuted at #13 in Hardcover Fiction) Who Do You Love by Jennifer Weiner: “Rachel Blum and Andy Landis are just eight years old when they meet one night in an ER waiting room. Born with a congenital heart defect, Rachel is a veteran of hospitals, and she’s intrigued by the boy who shows up alone with a broken arm. He tells her his name. She tells him a story. After Andy’s taken back to a doctor and Rachel’s sent back to her bed, they think they’ll never see each other again.” (August 2015)
(Debuted at #14 in Young Adult) Egg and Spoon by Gregory Maguire: “Elena Rudina lives in the impoverished Russian countryside. Her father has been dead for years. One of her brothers has been conscripted into the Tsar’s army, the other taken as a servant in the house of the local landowner. Her mother is dying, slowly, in their tiny cabin. And there is no food. But then a train arrives in the village, a train carrying untold wealth, a cornucopia of food, and a noble family destined to visit the Tsar in Saint Petersburg — a family that includes Ekaterina, a girl of Elena’s age.” (September 2014)
