We’ve collected the hardcover books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending May 01, 2011–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted #9) Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe: “A teen idol at fifteen, an international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, and one of Hollywood’s top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-seventies Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood.” (April 2011)
(Debuted at #12) The Tragedy of Arthur by Arthur Phillips: “Its doomed hero is Arthur Phillips, a young man struggling with a larger-than-life father, a con artist who works wonders of deception but is a most unreliable parent. Arthur is raised in an enchanted world of smoke and mirrors where the only unshifting truth is his father’s and his beloved twin sister’s deep and abiding love for the works of William Shakespeare—a love so pervasive that Arthur becomes a writer in a misguided bid for their approval and affection.” (April 2011)
(Debuted at #15) We’ll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han: “Belly will have to confront her feelings for Jeremiah and Conrad and face a truth she has possibly always known: she will have to break one of their hearts.” (April 2011)
