In August, Hans, one of the co-owners of Micawber's began a project to gather a list of the Top 50 Books that independent booksellers love to hand-sell or just love in general.
It all began when a customer asked Hans to tell her 10 of his Top 100 books. Unknown to the customer, this simple question has led to something much larger. Hans has now collected over 50 lists from booksellers around the country.
The vast majority of books listed are adult titles, but there are some children's books included in the Top 50 lists. To see the complete lists, visit Han's Micawber's Blog.
Here's a sample of some of the children's Top 50 book titles:
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis
