Raven Book Store Bestsellers

”January is widely believed to be a dead time in publishing. … That doesn’t appear to be the case with Raven readers this year, though: seven of our 10 bestsellers this week are January releases,” the Raven Book Store writes.

”To nobody’s surprise, Prince Harry’s record-breaking memoir tops our bestseller list this week,” the Raven Book Store writes in this latest bestseller list. There’s also a 5-way tie for fifth place!

”Welcome to the first Raven bestseller list of 2023! … People are still gobbling up Fall 2022’s big books, as well as (continuing) support for iconic local books like ’Boogorama’ and the ’Paradise Café Cookbook,’” the Raven Book Store writes.

“This week’s bestsellers feature a lineup of books that’ll most likely represent the Big Books of the Season for us. Good news: we have healthy stock of all of them!” the Raven Book Store writes.

“Local baking wizard Erin Jeanne McDowell’s ‘Savory Baking’ continues to find an audience, which is a wonderful thing for a wonderful book. Over the last two weeks, our good friend Erin outsold even Bob Dylan and Bono,” the Raven Book Store writes.

“If this week’s bestseller list has a theme, it’s ’new books from fiction royalty,’” the Raven Book Store writes.

“Topping this week’s chart easily is Erin McDowell’s fantastic new cookbook ‘Savory Baking,’ of which we have loads of signed copies in-store!” the Raven Book Store writes.

“We’re still riding high on how great our 35th Anniversary Celebration was last month, and our bestseller list is too!” the Raven Book Store writes.

“September, a time of changing seasons. Summer to fall. Baseball to football. No school to school. Most importantly to us, September is the official beginning of Fall Books Season,” the Raven Book Store writes.

“Our No. 1 bestseller this week is Michael Travis’ ‘Celebrating Kansas Breweries,’ but the list as a whole might as well be called ‘Celebrating Kansas Books,’” the Raven Book Store writes.

New ordering policies from a corporate book store make it harder for debut authors to get hardcover books on shelves, the Raven Book Store writes. This week’s bestsellers present “an interesting study in contrast between independent and corporate bookselling.”

“This week’s top 4 are all from events we’ve done at the Raven! Thanks so much for attending our events and buying these great books!” the Raven Book Store writes.

“The next few weeks are absolutely packed with great authors and fantastic books, and we hope to see you there!” the Raven Book Store writes.

“You can’t stop the Heartstoppers! Alice Oseman’s series of comics dominates our list this week, with volumes 1, 2, and 3 each making appearances (and 4 isn’t that far behind).”
