”We always have an eclectic mix of titles on our staff picks table and this month, we’ve shared our love for everything from middle-grade graphic novels to ’smotherly’ horror (and yes, smother + motherly = smotherly),” the Raven Book Store writes.

“This week’s bestseller list is anchored by two massive fantasy prequels,” the Raven Book Store writes.

“How do literary Lawrencians handle the doldrums of February? By reading spooky books, apparently,” the Raven Book Store writes.

”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.
