#1. Where the Crawdad's Sing, by Delia Owens - Crawdad's was released in August of 2018, but has enjoyed continued popularity. Both our copies, along with the audio, have stayed checked out most of the year.
#2. The Dog-Man Series by Dav Pilkey - When I ran my report, the Dog-Man books took up four spots in the top ten, but I am consolidating the series into one item. A graphic novel series, Dog-Man is particularly popular with pre-teen boys.
#3. The Reckoning, by John Grisham
#4. The Boy, by Tami Hoag
#5. Long Road to Mercy, by David Baldacci
#6. The Amulet Series, by Kazu Kibuishi - Also a graphic novel series popular with boys. Young boys are some of the hardest of our patrons to recommend good books for, so it's encouraging to see two different series geared towards them on this list.
#7. Every Breath, by Nicholas Sparks - I didn't care for this book as much as I have enjoyed others by Sparks. However, there is always a waiting list for anything new by him.
#8. Wolf Pack, by C.J. Box
#9. No Exit, by Taylor Adams
#10. The Lost Man, by Jane Harper - The Lost Man's popularity was partially due to the promotion of it by library staff. We found the book very interesting and had several discussions about it.
Have you read any of these? What was your favorite book of the year?
