We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending May 10, 2015–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #2 in Young Adult) Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen: “Sydney has always felt invisible. She’s grown accustomed to her brother, Peyton, being the focus of the family’s attention and, lately, concern. Peyton is handsome and charismatic, but seems bent on self-destruction. Now, after a drunk-driving accident that crippled a boy, Peyton’s serving some serious jail time, and Sydney is on her own, questioning her place in the family and the world.” (May 2015)
(Debuted at #3 in Children’s Fiction Series) The Heir (The Selection series) by Kiera Cass: “Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won Prince Maxon’s heart. Now the time has come for Princess Eadlyn to hold a Selection of her own. Eadlyn doesn’t expect her Selection to be anything like her parents’ fairy-tale love story…but as the competition begins, she may discover that finding her own happily ever after isn’t as impossible as she’s always thought.” (May 2015)
(Debuted at #3 in Hardcover Fiction) A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson: “A GOD IN RUINS tells the dramatic story of the 20th Century through Ursula’s beloved younger brother Teddy–would-be poet, heroic pilot, husband, father, and grandfather-as he navigates the perils and progress of a rapidly changing world. After all that Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge is living in a future he never expected to have. An ingenious and moving exploration of one ordinary man’s path through extraordinary times, A GOD IN RUINS proves once again that Kate Atkinson is one of the finest novelists of our age.” (May 2015)
