BOOKS IN HANDS • What Readers Bought During Holidays 2022

December 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

You ever want to know what people are buying in bookstores? Well, it so happens that I work at one, and I wanted to write about what books customers have been asking for during the holiday season.

All bookstores are different, so the books customers are asking will be different. This holiday season have exhausted me (to the point that I forgot about my blogoversary, oops). These are just the books the customers at my bookstore asked for during the past week leading up to the Holidays in 2022.

This list isn’t a conclusive list; the books here are the ones that I’ve remembered because I’ve been asked about it a bazillion times or I’ve seen customers holding it.

Babel by R.F. Kuang | Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Glory by Raphael Bob-Waksberg | Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin* | Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurty

Horse by Geraldine Brooks | After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid | A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny | The Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver | Fairy Tale by Stephen King | Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson | Hawkeye: The Saga of Barton and Bishop by Matt Fraction & David Aja

Stellarlune (Keeper of the Lost Cities #9) by Shannon Messenger | Diper Overlode (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #17) by Jeff Kinney | Some Kind of Happiness by Claire Legrand | Choose Your Own Adventure Books by R.A. Montgomery | The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs by America’s Test Kitchen Kids | Blade Breaker (Realm Breaker #2) by Victoria Aveyard

An Immense World by Ed Yong* | The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama | Feels Like Home: A Song from the Sonorian Borderlands by Linda Ronstadt and Lawrence Downes | Slow Birding: The Art and Science of Enjoying the Birds in Your Own Backyard by Joan E. Strassmann | You Sound Like A White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation by Julissa Arce | When McKinsey Comes to Town by Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe

From Crook to Cook by Snoop Dogg* | One Piece: Pirate Recipes | The Woks of Life by Bill, Judy, Sarah & Kaitlin Leung | First Generation: Recipes from My Taiwanese-American Home by Frankie Gaw | Half Baked Harvest Every Day by Tieghan Gerard

(Any titles with the asterisk* are books that we didn’t have in stock because they sold out before.)

I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of books that people asked for. Like all years, the holiday season was super busy, and my bones are exhausted. (I need to slumber for a while.)

Were there any surprises? What books do you think people asked for a lot? If you work at a bookstore, tell me what books your customers asked for.
