Most Popular of 2024
Throughout the year you’ve been enjoying these titles the most.
Tied for most popular fiction The Women by Kristen Hannah and The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. These historical fiction novels have been consistently checked out throughout the year. If you’ve been waiting for your chance, be sure to place them on hold!
Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez is the most popular romance book of the year. This Minnesotan author took a few of our top spots in romance and is known for her “cinnamon roll” male main characters. If you want a story that makes your heart sing, try something by Jimenez.
So many people were ready to dive into this ultra popular (and extra thick read) Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, our most popular Sci-Fi/Fantasy title. And if you’re ready for that big commitment, we also have book two of the series, Iron Flame, and book three is expected in early 2025.
History buffs enjoyed Patton’s Prayer: A True Story of Courage, Faith, and Victory in World War II by Alex Kershaw this year more than any other biography.
