Our Best Seller List for April 2008
A busy month with “A Little Night of Romance (Suspense and Mystery too)” as well as our 13th Festival of Mystery means bigger sales than usual from 71 visiting authors. Ticket holders for these events sought out 595 first in a series books to find new authors to read. Past years’ experience tells us this brings more sales for later books in a series through the year. Add in a few book club selections, author events and we have the big month’s best selling books, but all of our authors are winners of new readers.
