Local author Robby Weber dominated this year: not one but two of his books topped our Y/A bestsellers list! We couldn't be more proud of him, and we're thrilled to still have signed copies of his books available.

Thanks for following along with our 2025 Bestsellers! Happy New Year!

Beloved author James Ponti continued to top charts with his City Spies series, and Jan Brett's latest picture book, Christmas Sweater, flew out the door. We also loved classic series such as Dog Man and Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

Who doesn't love love? This year we were so lucky to partner with Peyton Corrine to launch her second novel, Unloved! We had so much fun working with Peyton and selling her books. We still have signed copies of both Unloved and Unsteady available in the store.

2025 was a great year for fantasy. Staff favorite authors like TJ Klune and V.E. Schwab dropped excellent, engrossing novels, and of course readers couldn't get enough of Alchemised and The Empyrean.

Our mystery bestsellers range travel far and wide: local author Abel Harding drew us in with his novel Last Time I'll Ask, and of course Freida McFadden continued her reign. And who could forget Fever Beach, Carl Hiaasen's most recent adult book?

In 2025 we loved female-centric stories! Atmosphere took us to space, and The Warm Hands of Ghosts took us back in time. But no matter the period or setting, we couldn't get enough of these novels - which have you read?
