Petaluma Bestsellers: ‘Sonoma Mountain’ book climbs onto local bestseller list

Which books are the bestselling titles in Petaluma this week?|

The top selling titles at Copperfield’s Books, in Petaluma, for the week of March 4-March 10, 2019

For yet another week, Michelle Obama’s memoir, “Becoming,” remains the No. 1 bestselling book in Petaluma. Leaping up to No. 2 is Delia Owens’ lyrical novel “Where the Crawdads Sing,” followed by Arthur Dawson’s “Where the World Begins” at No. 3. Subtitled “Sonoma Mountain Stories & Images,” the recently released book has been grabbing a lot of attention in the area, for obvious reasons.

On Copperfield’s list of bestselling books for kids and young adults, two titles by Peter Reynolds appear, with his recently released picture book “Say Something,” a colorful encouragement to young children to find a way to speak up about what matters, debuting in the No. 1 spot. The No. 5 bestseller this week is Reynold’s “The Dot,” a delightful story of a girl who believes she has no artistic talent, transformed by a teacher’s ingeniously clever encouragement.

At No. 2 is Soman Chainani’s “School for Good and Evil: A Crystal of Time,” followed by “The Magical Land of Plenty” (No. 3), by Sharleen Campbell.

Though author Thomas Lennon’s in-store appearance has been postponed till a future date, his new fantasy book “Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles” has proved popular enough to land the book in the No. 7 spot on the kids bestseller list.
