BOOKS IN HAND • What Books Customers Are Buying in January 2022

February 7, 2022 Leave a Comment

New year, new books? Eh, you’ll see very familiar covers and authors.

During the last week of February 2018, I pondered about what type of post to make for “Books in Hand.” At first, I planned to discuss all the books customers came in asking for or buying, but that’s a bit too much because everybody came in asking for different books, and I didn’t remember all of them. My boss showed me a way to check our store’s best selling books, and I found out what we sold a lot of!

And that’s what this post is—seeing the top selling books of January 2022!

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover | The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood | The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover | The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller |

NOTES:

  • Every bookstore’s top-selling books will be different from each other. This list is just for my store.
  • These books seem to be forever on the top-selling list: The Alchemist, anything Dog Man or Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, You Are A Badass, The Four Agreements, the 5 Love Languages, and Milk and Honey. (Don’t be surprise if you see these books here or in future “Books in Hand” posts. People love these books.)
  • For the past year, we’ve been selling a lot of manga—so much that it exceeds the different subjects of books we sell. That will be in its own post.
Were there any surprises? What did you think would be a top-selling book? What books from this list have you read?
