Annie Bloom’s Books

Connor’s novel—about the ethically dicey but romantically spicy relationship between a struggling rock journalist and her rocker ex who agrees to an exclusive interview for the first time in eight years—topped Annie Bloom’s bestseller list in February.

Broadway Books

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad

Portland author El Akkad weaves together memoir, essay, and reporting on the Gaza conflict in a title that has been honored with the National Book Award and the Pacific Northwest Book Award and continues to be a top seller at local stores. Staff says El Akkad accepted the latter award at Broadway, and it was the shop’s bestselling title in February.

Powell’s City of Books

The first in the Dungeon Crawler series of eight books by Dinniman came out in paperback in December and was Powell’s No. 1 bestseller in February for the second month in a row.
