By Maryann Yin 

Cabin 10 Cover (GalleyCat)We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending July 24, 2016–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.

(Debuted at #3 in Paperback Fiction) After You by Jojo Moyes: “Louisa Clark is no longer just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. After the transformative six months spent with Will Traynor, she is struggling without him. When an extraordinary accident forces Lou to return home to her family, she can’t help but feel she’s right back where she started.” (July 2015)

(Debuted at #9 in Hardcover Fiction) The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware: “In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for—and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong…” (July 2016)

(Debuted at #13 in Early & Middle Grade Readers) Pokémon Deluxe Essential Handbook: “It’s everything you ever wanted to know about every Pokémon — all in one place! This revised and updated edition of the 2012 bestseller has stats and facts on over 700 Pokémon. The book includes 64 new pages focusing on the new Kalos characters that just debuted in the Pokémon X & Y videogames, plus inside info on the new Mega Evolved Pokémon.” (July 2015)12
