Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Amazon.com reports these best-sellers for Los Angeles, California
For the week of Jan 16-22
1. City Baby L.A. by Lisa Rocchio
2. Symphony by Frank Gehry
3. Norman Klein by Rosemary Comella
4. An Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles
5. Sacred Spaces by Robert Berger
6. Dancing at Ciro's by Sheila Weller
7. When Hollywood Had a King by CONNIE BRUCK
8. Dynamite Road (KLAVAN, ANDREW)

Since the list is mainly composed of non-fiction, we suspect that the list is actually just a collection of titles containing the key word "Los Angeles," rather than an analysis of what books people from LA actually purchased.

Nice try Amazon marketing mavens, but we're not fooled.
