June Bookseller Picks

June 1, 2018
By Kathy Smith

Amazon’s spotlight pick for June is David Sedaris’s Calypso, and their featured debut is There There by Tommy Orange. A NYT profile calls Orange “part of a new generation of acclaimed indigenous writers from the United States and Canada who are publishing groundbreaking, formally innovative poetry, fiction and prose, shattering old tropes and stereotypes about Native American literature, experience and identity.” And they call his novel “a new kind of Native American epic, one that reflects his ambivalence and the complexity of his upbringing.” Also on their top 10 for the month are:

The Book of M, by Peng Shepherd
Florida, by Lauren Groff
She Has Her Mother’s Laugh, by Carl Zimmer
When Life Gives You Lululemons, by Lauren Weisberger
Frenemies, by Ken Auletta
Invitation to a Bonfire, by Adrienne Celt
Kudos, by Rachel Cusk
Room to Dream, by David Lynch & Kristine McKenna

Barnes & Noble‘s top fiction list for June includes:
The President Is Missing, by Bill Clinton & James Patterson
Line of Sight, by Tom Clancy
The Perfect Couple, by Elin Hilderbrand
All We Ever Wanted, by Emily Griffin
The Pharaoh Key, by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
The Word Is Murder, by Anthony Horowitz
Turbulence, by Stuart Woods
Manhattan Beach, by Jennifer Egan
Us Against You, by Fredrik Backman
Bring Me Back, by B.A. Paris

Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the June pick for Target and Pennie’s Pick at Costco. Target also got the jump on their July pick, which will be The Last Mrs Parrish, by Liv Constantine.

Pulitzer winner Less, by Andrew Sean Greer is the June pick for the PBS NewsHour-New York Times book club.
