Petaluma’s Bestsellers: Iguodala’s ‘Sixth Man’ is No. 1 book

The top selling titles at Copperfield's Books, in Petaluma, for the week of July 8-July 14, 2019

After several weeks at the top of the heap, Delia Owens' lyrical novel “Where the Crawdads Sing” has been eased down the list a bit (it's now No. 3), with basketball great Andre Iguodala's new memoir “The Sixth Man” taking over as No. 1 on Petaluma's Fiction and Nonfiction Bestseller List. The critically acclaimed book tells the SF Warrior's inspiring tale of rising to become a master of the hoops. At No. 2 is Richard Powers' Pulitzer-winning “The Overstory,” remaining in the second spot for its third week running.

On the Kids and Young Adults Bestseller List, materializing at No. 1 is Robert Beatty's fantasy novel “Serafina and the Seven Stars,” the fourth in the author's popular series of books about a mysterious, rat-catching girl who lives in the basement of the grand Biltmore Estate. Beatty was at Copperfield's on July 7 to meet fans, who clearly appeared in large numbers. Repeating at No0. For another week is Martin Hanford's “Where's Waldo,” the 30th anniversary edition, and in the No. 3 spot on the list is Rick Riordan's “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” absent from the list for a while, but one of those books that keeps returning to popularity.

As does Bill Martin's “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?' lolloping over the mountain and back to Petaluma to stop at the No. 6 spot, and Lois Lowry's “The Giver,” which appears in glorious black-and-white print (that may only make sense if you've read the book) this week at No. 7.
