God, this year is already passing by so fast.
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 February 2021!

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.)
I can see why these books are best sellers. There are some, though not I’ve never heard of.
Thank you for sharing!
I love this idea for a post! I’m always so interested in what’s popular in our little bubble online vs IRL. Most of these aren’t too surprising but I’m interested in all the Madeline Miller love this past month! I feel like a lot of the YA is so big on TikTok and not surprised about new Angie Thomas.
