Hey look a tiny bit of original reporting from me. According to Circana, the top 10 books on the NYT 100 Best Books of the Century list saw an average sales boost of 113% last week. The big winners: AUSTERLITZ sales were up more than 600% and THE KNOWN WORLD was up more than 400%

A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.
