Our Bestselling Books for Period Ending August 2018 -- No Poerty

Here are the top 10 bestselling book on AALBC.com for the period ending August 2018. 

 

It seems readers have decided to stop purchasing poetry titles from AALBC. I'm not sure if this is part of a larger trend or not.  Historically, poetry has done well on AALBC, but the old refrain “Poetry does not sell” seems to be true for AALBC today.  There have not been enough poetry book sales to create a bestsellers list since the period ending February 2017 — and that was probably due, in part, Black history month.

 

If anyone has any ideas as to why poetry sales are down; I'm all ears (eyes).
