Every Monday, we send out a list of the top 15 bestselling BC books sold in BC bookstores recorded in the previous week. Today, we present the top 20 titles that appeared on this list throughout last year. These are the books that British Columbians bought and loved! If these popular titles tell us anything BC residents’ interests, it’s that we love cooking, hiking, learning about BC history and sharing stories with the little ones in their lives.
Subscribe to the BC Bestseller list newsletter to receive the weekly list throughout the year!
