daydreaming about books

Discussion

BOOKS IN HAND • What Customers Bought in January 2021

February 4, 2021 Comment : 1

2021 started, and now we’re already in February. How did that happen?

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 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.)
Were there any surprises? What did you think would be a top-selling book? What books from this list have you read?

    This is a great selection of books. I haven’t read any of the books from the list except for The Cruel Prince. The ones I have my eye on are Demon Slayer, The Vanishing Half, The Truths We Hold, and A Promised Land.
