The best selling books in #downtownOKC for February 2024 were:

1 Cutting Promos - Josh Shepard

We hosted the release for this zine of erasure poems published by Bruiser and it packed the shop. If you like wrestling and/or poetry, you need this in your life

2 This New Dark - Chase Dearinger

The Oklahoma Weird-Gothic novel we’ve needed for decades. The blurb on the back calls it “TRUE GRIT meets TWIN PEAKS” and if mashing up Lynch & Portis sounds at all interesting to you then, friend, you have found your book

3 Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography

Just like Billboard, Swift is a fixture in TFB chart

4 Station Eleven - Emily St. John Mandel

Join us to discuss March 7 @ 6 with #bookclubattheendoftheworld

5 Bigfoot Watching Woman Watching Bigfoot

M Sparks Clark's thriller-with-a-heart holds strong in the top 5 for the 6th month in a row!

6 Howl's Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones

A classic of kids’ lit and the source of a great movie!

7 Killers of the Flower Moon - David Grann

What’s the Oscars over/under? 7?

8 Practice Practice: How to Keep Creating - Isa Rodriguez & Dylan Cale Jones 

If you do anything creative, you’ve probably gotten stuck at some point. Isa & Dylan’s guide is the perfect thing to help sustain your craft

9 In the Morning, the City Is the Prairie - Rob Roensch

Listen, if you live in OKC, you need to read this book. It’s essential. Thank you to Rob for writing it & Belle Point Press for publishing it

10 [TIE] Fish Gather to Listen: A Horror Anthology from Horns and Rattles Press

A well-deserved plug by Joyce Carol Oates for this Okie-published book saw it surge into a three-way tie for 10th with some big names

10 [TIE]Beautyland - Marie-Helene Bertino

Sci-Fi? Magical Realism? Whatever it is, it’s astounding

10 [TIE] Chain Gang All Stars - Nana K. Adjei-Brenyah

Part of me wants to tell you it’s The Running Man meets WWE, but if you read any of FRIDAY BLACK, you know it’s so much more than that. Like that jaw-dropping collection of stories., it's dystopian, but only separated from our current moment by the thinnest of veils

#thefloatingbookshop is downtown OKC’s bookstore, located on historic Film Row!
