We had many new titles make our bestsellers in November, but also a few ‘old’ ones like Project Hail Mary (which will be released in the theaters March 2026) and the classic Crime and Punishment. We have titles that keep selling really well because they are great books, such as I Who Have Never Known Men and A Dictionary of Color Combinations. The Lamb was a bestseller in October, as well as this month.
Most of the new titles were actually released in November. Stuff Dutch People Hate came out in October, but with the events we had with Colleen Geske in all of our stores, it soared high on our list.
Without much ado: enjoy this collection of interesting, different, and amazing titles. You might even find something that takes your fancy for the coming festivities!

Your Knife, My Heart by K.M. Moronova
Dark. Deadly. Irresistible.
Cameron Mortem has a problem―he can’t stop killing his partners. Officially labeled clinically insane, he’s also one of the most lethal assets in the Dark Forces, a brutal underground military operation built on obedience, survival, and silence. But an experimental drug has fractured his control, making him a liability whenever someone else is on the field. As punishment, he’s thrown back into the Under Trials―a merciless boot camp designed to break the weak and sharpen the ruthless.
His one directive? Don’t kill the new girl.
Emery Maves narrowly escapes a death sentence after her own brutal crimes, only to find herself forced into the same violent world. Assigned to Cameron, she’s expected to survive the Trials and her partner’s unstable nature. But Emery quickly realizes there’s more to Cameron than bloodlust and body counts. Beneath the madness lies a terrifying allure―and a strange, dangerous tenderness.
