”This last Saturday was Independent Bookstore Day, and we must say we’re so thankful for the support our community showed us. … We really felt the love, and it reminded us why we’re so grateful to be able to do what we do,” the Raven Book Store writes in this week’s bestseller list.

”Tessa Gratton, our good friend and local author, has not only (again!) landed on our list but is also on the New York Times list this week!” the Raven Book Store writes of this week’s bestsellers.

“This week’s bestsellers list truly reflects the broad tastes of Raven readers,” the Raven Book Store writes.

”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.
