Here's your weekly St. Louis bestseller list for the week ending May 13, as compiled by the St. Louis Independent Booksellers Alliance and based on sales at Left Bank Books, Main Street Books, Pudd'nhead Books, Subterranean Books and Sue's News.

Following the ancient St. Louis precept that high school marks you for life, Bravo network exec and talk show host Andy Cohen has decided to title his new biography after his honorific in the 1986 Clayton High School yearbook: Most Talkative. The book tells the story of how he rose from humble beginnings interviewing Susan Lucci for his college paper to bringing the world the gifts of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Top Chef and the many, many iterations of Real Housewives.

Cohen has also managed to outsell 50 Shades of Grey. Bravo!
