Note from the Times: This bestseller list comes to us straight from The Raven Book Store in Lawrence. See other editions of the list here.
Preorder campaigns, local author events and front-desk books prevail with this most recent edition of Raven Bestsellers. Returning for the approximately the 36th week in a row is Timothy Snyder’s prescient handbook, On Tyranny.
Last Thursday, the Raven — with the immense support of the Lawrence community, including Lawrence PFLAG, the Trans Lawrence Coalition, Kansas City PFLAG, KJHK 90.7, and Nostalgia Room — hosted award-winning author Nico Lang on their 50-state tour to promote their important, beautiful book American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era.
And finally, local author Tessa Gratton took the cake with their new fantasy novel The Mercy Makers. With handmade broadsides crafted by one of our booksellers going to our readers who preordered a copy, this book felt really special to help bring into the world. All these books and more can be found on our shelves today!
