Local author Robby Weber dominated this year: not one but two of his books topped our Y/A bestsellers list! We couldn't be more proud of him, and we're thrilled to still have signed copies of his books available.

Thanks for following along with our 2025 Bestsellers! Happy New Year!

Beloved author James Ponti continued to top charts with his City Spies series, and Jan Brett's latest picture book, Christmas Sweater, flew out the door. We also loved classic series such as Dog Man and Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

2025 was a great year for fantasy. Staff favorite authors like TJ Klune and V.E. Schwab dropped excellent, engrossing novels, and of course readers couldn't get enough of Alchemised and The Empyrean.

Our mystery bestsellers range travel far and wide: local author Abel Harding drew us in with his novel Last Time I'll Ask, and of course Freida McFadden continued her reign. And who could forget Fever Beach, Carl Hiaasen's most recent adult book?
