Our Best Seller List for 2010
It was the year that Mystery Lovers Bookshop was awarded the Raven by the Mystery Writers of America. And to prove we deserved it, we note a slight uptick in sales that accounts for our busy book clubs and the new morning group, more offsite sales at author events, schools, libraries and lectures. Of course, the Festival of Mystery, which will be on May 3 this year, continues to grow and prosper. Many thanks to all who have contributed to our list. Enjoy, encourage and celebrate reading this year. Let’s hear from you soon.
