Sometimes we see unexpected titles on our bestseller list. This May the most “different” title went to €25 Gift Certificates. So besides customers coming to our stores, they also give the same experience to their loved ones. We love it!
We had many repeats from last month: Project Hail Mary, Dungeon Crawler Carl, I Who Have Never Known Men, Yesteryear, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me, and Heated Rivalry; as well as titles that have been bestsellers in months past: Martyr!, Haunting Adeline, White Nights, What Happens in Amsterdam, and The Wedding People. But also many new titles. Because they were new indeed, like Famesick and The Daisy Chain Flower Shop, or due to a certain TV series streaming at the moment.
All titles in the series Off Campus by Elle Kennedy are sold out and on reprint. We hope to get them back in stock very soon!
