Ever wonder what library users worldwide are searching for in catalogs just like yours? At NoveList, we've got the data.
This month, we have three newcomers on this list: Welcome Ann Patchett, Lisa Jewell, and James McBride! Meanwhile, Colleen Hoover’s 2016 and 2018 titles are still holding on to the last two spots on the list.
Here are August's top ten titles searched in library catalogs that include NoveList Select:
- Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
- Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
- None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell
- The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride
- Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
- Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
- The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
- Happy Place by Emily Henry
- It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
- Verity by Colleen Hoover
If we look at NoveList Select usage in Canada only, we see some variations on the list. Though there is a slightly different order, the same three titles appear at the top of both lists. And we can see Romance makes more appearances on this list (as well as two Canadian fiction titles).
- Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
- None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell
