Fully Booked

merrilyI've worked at the bookstore for the last 12 days straight. Unlike last year, this year's bestsellers aren't quite as odd. They are diverse, though!
Our top sales slots go to:
1. Stoner
by John Williams, first published in 1965, but mentioned in a Globe & Mail article a month ago, which means we can't keep it in stock. I sold 12 copies in 20 minutes on Friday!
2. Every Alice Munro book available, with a slight edge given to My Best Stories
, a collection she picked for Penguin in 2009.
3. All three Ottolenghi books, and I am keeping the information that My Best Stories and Jerusalem: A Cookbook
are actually the same book to myself, since no one else (including the North American publisher) seems to notice or care.
4. Joseph Boyden's The Orenda
which, frustratingly, is out of stock until Random House can rush through another print run
5. The Luminaries
6. Hyperbole and a Half
, which thrills me. Yay for Allie!
Two more days, you guys. Two more days and then I can collapse and cuddle babies and not worry about the bookstore for an entire blessed week.
