Petaluma’s bestselling books

The top-selling titles at Petaluma’s Copperfield’s Book Store, for the week of Dec. 24-30, 2018

For the sixth consecutive week, Petaluma book buyers snapped up copies of Michele Obama’s “Becoming” and Scott Hess and John Sheehy’s “On a Rive Winding Home,” claiming the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively. “River,” which has proven to be a huge hit for Hess and Sheehy, is one of the big surprises of the season, selling so many copies that the locally-based team are reportedly close to running out of their initial first-run.

Elsewhere on the Fiction and Nonfiction list, Yotam Ottolenghi’s new cookbook “Ottolenghi Simple” (No. 4) keeps the heat turned up to high, while former White House photojournalist Pete Souza hits the list for the first time with his own hot new book “Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents” (No. 9), an adaptation of his controversial (but fascinating) Instagram posts comparing our current president to his predecessor.

On the Kids and Young Adults list, the big news is Mac Barnett, who’s got the No. 3, No. 7 and No. 10 spots with “Mac B., Kid Spy: Mac Undercover,” “The Terrible Two’s Last Laugh,” and the brand new “Mac B., Kid Spy: Impossible Crime.”

Meanwhile, repeating last week’s standing at No. 1 is “Dav Pilkey’s “Dog Man: Brawl of the Wild,’ by Dav Pilkey, author of “Captain Underpants.”
