We’re starting a new blog series today, and it’s likely to be a while until we finish it. We’re going to cover the bestselling fiction of the last one hundred years, one year at a time.
Each list will be ten books, the ten bestselling books of the last one hundred years and as we’re still in 2018 (just) we’re starting with 1918.
As the lists continue you’ll see trends through the years as popular authors shine through, but for today it’s the ten bestselling books of 1918.
We’ll continue this series right through to 2018, keep an eye out for 1919, coming soon!
