We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending September 11, 2016–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #3 in Hardcover Nonfiction) Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton: “Love Warrior is the story of one marriage, but it is also the story of the healing that is possible for any of us when we refuse to settle for good enough and begin to face pain and love head-on. This astonishing memoir reveals how our ideals of masculinity and femininity can make it impossible for a man and a woman to truly know one another – and it captures the beauty that unfolds when one couple commits to unlearning everything they’ve been taught so that they can finally, after thirteen years of marriage, fall in love.” (September 2016)
(Debuted at #4 in Hardcover Fiction) Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer: “How do we fulfill our conflicting duties as father, husband, and son; wife and mother; child and adult? Jew and American? How can we claim our own identities when our lives are linked so closely to others’? These are the questions at the heart of Jonathan Safran Foer’s first novel in eleven years—a work of extraordinary scope and heartbreaking intimacy.” (September 2016)
(Debuted at #8 in Children’s Illustrated) A Child of Books by Oliver Jeffers and Sam Winston: “A little girl sails her raft across a sea of words, arriving at the house of a small boy and calling him away on an adventure. Through forests of fairy tales and across mountains of make-believe, the two travel together on a fantastical journey that unlocks the boy’s imagination. Now a lifetime of magic and adventure lies ahead of him…but who will be next?” (September 2016)
