“Lawrence readers are on trend with this bestsellers list! … Stories from the Phog by Lawrence author Chelan David also makes an appearance and is the perfect read for our Jayhawks celebrating March Madness,” the Raven Book Store writes.
“The top 3 books are all local authors who presented incredible readings for their new titles. Keep your eyes peeled for the March event announcements and April’s events (which are completely stacked),” the Raven Book Store writes.

“Readers have their fingers on the cultural pulse with … the classic ‘Wuthering Heights,’ whose (unfaithful) adaptation releases into theaters this week. (Seriously. You want to read the book for this one),” the Raven Book Store writes.

“Lawrence readers have kicked off the new year by supporting local authors, learning local histories, checking out what’s hot and finding books to help out with their new year’s resolutions,” the Raven Book Store writes of the latest bestsellers.
