We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending October 16, 2011–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #2 in Hardcover Fiction) The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks: “In the spring of 1984, high school students Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole fell deeply, irrevocably in love. Though they were from opposite sides of the tracks, their love for one another seemed to defy the realities of life in the small town of Oriental, North Carolina. But as the summer of their senior year came to a close, unforeseen events would tear the young couple apart, setting them on radically divergent paths.” (October 2011)
(Debuted at #4 in Children’s Fiction Series) The Death Cure (Book 3 in The Maze Runner trilogy) by James Dashner: “Thomas knows that Wicked can’t be trusted, but they say the time for lies is over, that they’ve collected all they can from the Trials and now must rely on the Gladers, with full memories restored, to help them with their ultimate mission. It’s up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test. What Wicked doesn’t know is that something’s happened that no Trial or Variable could have foreseen.” (October 2011)
(Debuted at #14 in Children’s Illustrated) The Apothecary by Maile Meloy & illustrated by Ian Schoenherr: “When Benjamin’s father disappears, Janie and Benjamin must uncover the secrets of the apothecary’s ancient book, the Pharmacopoeia, in order to find him, all while keeping those secrets out of the hands of Russian spies. Discovering transformative elixirs they never imagined could exist, Janie and Benjamin embark on a dangerous race to save the apothecary and prevent impending nuclear disaster.” (October 2011)
