We’ve collected the hardcover books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending June 5, 2011–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #4) Dreams of Joy by Lisa See: “Now, in her most powerful novel yet, Lisa See returns to these timeless themes, continuing the story of sisters Pearl and May from Shanghai Girls, and Pearl’s strong-willed nineteen-year-old daughter, Joy.” (May 2011)
(Debuted at #13) Go the F*** to Sleep by Adam Mansbach & illustrated by Ricardo Cortes: “Go the F*** to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland.” (June 2011)
(Debuted at #15) Beauty Queens by Libba Bray: “Teen beauty queens. A ‘Lost’-like island. Mysteries and dangers. No access to email. And the spirit of fierce, feral competition that lives underground in girls, a savage brutality that can only be revealed by a journey into the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. Oh, the horror, the horror! Only funnier. With evening gowns. And a body count.”
