Lords Part One in Russo's Books Top 15 - By N.L. Belardes
This is a cut-and-paste from Bakersfield's Russo's Books homepage... Hooray for # 12!
Russo's Books is Bakersfield's only independent general bookseller. As such, we have a firm commitment to our hometown. This includes a commitment our Local Authors, many of whose books are available exclusively at our stores. Every six months we calculate the best of the best, rank them, and release the list as The Bakersfield Bestsellers.
In our next issue we will reveal the Top 8, but for this edition we present a quick run down of numbers 9 - 15 from the newly released Bakersfield Bestseller list.
#15-T Kindred Spirits: Flesh and Blood is the second in Brian Puckett's popular mystery / horror series.
#15-T Almost Like a Song is a Christian-based romance novel by Delia Latham. My grandmother loved it and it makes for both good reading and good gift giving.
#14 Buena Vista II by photographer Greg Iger has become a Kern County classic since its release several years ago. If you don't know how beautiful Kern County is, you don't know Greg.
#13 Tommy Wilson #1 Case of Wounded Jack Rabbit is a former #1 Bakersfield Bestseller by Maggie Caldwell-Smith. My 8 year old really enjoyed this title.
#12 Lords Part I is N.L. Belardes' fictional account of the many controversies and scandals that rocked Bakersfield in the late 70s and early 80s.
#11 Tommy Wilson #2 Case of the Orphaned Bobcat picks up where Maggie Caldwell-Smith's first young adult mystery novel left off.
#10 Ridge Route by Harrison Scott is a former #1 Bakersfield Bestseller and one of our all-time bestselling local books. The history of the Grapevine and the road that united California.
#9 Grannies' Critters by Peg Connelly is a collection of short stories (about animals) designed for boys and girls ages 2-12. This is a fun book to have around the house!

Congratulations! Much deserved honor there N.L.!
I can't believe you only got 12th place. After d.w. and I went and spent all our lunch money buying off all those Lords books. Just kidding.
Good job, N.L.!
