Fall is here, and with it wholesale changes to the IndieBound bestseller lists from California to the New York island, from the redwood forest to the gulf stream waters.
Jonathan Franzen's new "great American novel" FREEDOM tops the lists, and not surprisingly. The hype machine was working overtime on this opus of the modern American family, and got to breathe a sigh of relief when Oprah annointed it her latest pick.

You'd have to be living under a rock to have missed all the hub-bub and hype surrounding Jonathan Franzen's new novel FREEDOM.
Clare Dunkle's latest book to hit the stores, HOUSE OF DEAD MAIDS, acts as a prelude to Emily Bronte's WUTHERING HEIGHTS.
Jackie Estrada has been a staple in the comics industry for decades now. If you’ve attended the annual Eisner Awards ceremony at San Diego Comic-Con, you’ve witnessed her running the show as its administrator (she’s also done more behind-the-scenes work for the show, such as creating the Artists’ Alley). She’s worked as an editor of several comics and books about comics, and she’s a cofounder (along with her husband, author Batton Lash) of Exhibit A Press. With such an impressive résumé, Estrada was someone we wanted to find out a little more about. So we did!
Today's guest blogger is woman of many talents - she is not only the author of bestselling books but is also Editor-in-Chief of O, the Oprah Magazine. In her latest book, THE WAVE, she takes the scientifc subject of 100 foot waves and goes personal, following both the scientists and the extreme surfers who follow the waves. This kind of book may be a departure for your book club, but give it a try - I have found similar books (SHADOW DIVERS by Robert Kurson, for example) to be all the more compelling
This past week, Oni Press celebrated a big number for their megaselling Scott Pilgrim series: one million copies in print. That's a remarkable accomplishment for Bryan Lee O'Malley's little series about a guy who has to fight off his potential new girlfriend's deadly exes. Since the series has been translated into 13 languages over the globe and was the subject of a major motion picture recently, it shows how pervasive this book has been. Congratulations to Bryan and Oni on their success!
