Check out what Quebecers are reading this month! We’ve compiled lists with our colleagues at BookNet Canada to show the bestselling titles in Quebec, both overall and amongst titles from Canadian-owned publishers.
The Bestseller and Top Circulated Lists are compiled by the Association of English-language Publishers of Quebec from information provided by BookNet Canada’s national sales tracking service, SalesData, and national public library circulation data tracking service, LibraryData.
