2025’s Top 15 Best-Selling Books at The Local Store

It’s wonderful to be part of a community that supports readers, reading, and writers. It’s a privilege–after all these years–to see Population 485 included in this list, as well as its much younger sibling Improbable Mentors. All the better that the list is filled out by friends and other writers I admire. Thank you readers, thank you Local Store!
