As we approach the end of the year, I start running reports–how we’re doing financially, what pages readers visit the most, etc…. One I run each year that becomes less and less accurate thanks to Kindle Unlimited–Amazon releases no numbers for books borrowed in that program–is what books did we sell the most of?
Thus far this year, at Amazon, readers have used AAR’s links to buy almost sixteen thousand books. The average price point per book–this includes audiobooks, physical books, and ebooks–was $3.75. The vast majority were historical romances.
Here, in order of most sold to least, are our top fifty sellers. The links are to our reviews unless we don’t have one in which case it links to Amazon.

Again, this list is only of the books that weren’t in KU. If KU were counted, we’d have a very different list. For example, this year, Julie Anne Long put all the Pennyroyal Green and the Palace of Rogues books on KU. SeverI suspect readers clicked through to those a bunch but if they borrowed them from KU, I wouldn’t see that data.
Did you buy some of these? How does this list compare with your buying habits? And, if you want to see all the books listed, you can do so here. Thanks!
