Six of Crows BookWe’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending Oct. 04, 2015–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.

(Debuted at #2 in Young Adult) Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo: “Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price–and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone…” (September 2015)

(Debuted at #9 in Hardcover Fiction) The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood: “Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of an economic and social collapse. Job loss has forced them to live in their car, leaving them vulnerable to roving gangs. They desperately need to turn their situation around—and fast. The Positron Project in the town of Consilience seems to be the answer to their prayers. No one is unemployed and everyone gets a comfortable, clean house to live in . . . for six months out of the year.” (September 2015)

(Debuted at #10 in Hardcover Nonfiction) My Kitchen Year by Ruth Reich: “Imagine kale, leaves dark and inviting, sautéed with chiles and garlic; summer peaches baked into a simple cobbler; fresh oysters chilling in a box of snow; plump chickens and earthy mushrooms, fricasseed with cream. Over the course of this challenging year, each dish Reichl prepares becomes a kind of stepping stone to finding joy again in ordinary things.” (September 2015)
