The first year's fiction bestsellers study list is released!

Writers' Club Homework Assignment List


Relax - I didn't mean to give you a flashback to college days (well, maybe just a little...)

I was compiling the most popular classic fiction from Goodreads, Feedbooks, and Gutenberg.org - and came up with this list. The tie-breaker was Goodreads in all cases, since they have people wanting to read a title in both paperback and hardcover versions - so this gave an extra oomph to certain books.

Otherwise, it was your usual popularity contest.

Why only public domain works? Because this gives us a better view without current fads incorporated, or certain fan clubs which can skew results. (Dead authors don't usually have active fan clubs populating the social media.)
