The other day I was walking in books section in a big supermarket and I could check out the Top 10 of the bestseller during the month of July in Spain. it was really interesting.
This top 10 has increased consider selling books in physical format. If
you go to other page on internet like amazong or bookdeposit, you will
see that the bestseller are other books. (Because the cheap price :D)
(Other day I will take about the top 10 of digital bestsellers).
Well, While I was seeing the top 10, I realized about some really interesting things. 2 o 3 things really surprised me.
5/10 was about erotic! the erotic genre!
That was really surprising. Almost the majority of bestsellers have
erotic as genre! I can see that Christian Grey has helped a lot to this
genre!
And I have another interesting thing to tell you. A thing which impressed me! 3/5 bestsellers was written by the same author: Megan Maxwell. It is incredible, right?! I think it hasn't been seen before in Spain!
