BOOKS IN HAND • What Customers Bought in April 2021

May 3, 2021 Comment : 1

April was full of the same books as the previous months (no new releases), and that’s okay. 

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 April 2021!

Demon Slayer Vol. 1 | The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller | Circe by Madeline Miller | Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston | Given Vol. 1

I Want To Eat Your Pancreas | A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara | The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab | The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon | A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas |

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 nine months, we’ve been selling a lot of manga—so much that it exceeds the different subjects of books we sell. I might give manga its own separate section next month. 
Were there any surprises? What did you think would be a top-selling book? What books from this list have you read?
