Here's a link to what USA Today says are the top 100 best selling books in 2017. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2018/01/04/here-usa-todays-top-100-bes...
The top 5 are:
1. Wonder
2. Milk and Honey
3. Origin
4. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway
5. The Handmaid's Tale Margaret makes another pass, I suspect due to the TV show.

>1 varielle:, besides Atwood I see similar bump rationales on that list for Stephen King's It, Cline's Ready Player One and L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time.

When was the first listing? The book was originally published in 1986. I checked '86, '87 and '88 and didn't find it. Did I just miss it? I'm curious because I'm reading the book now. I tried plowing through all the 1,200 or so comments (that's what brought me to this page) and gave up after I'd hit "next" about five times. I don't expect anybody else to do my research for me, but just thought maybe someone might recall offhand. Or did this book, now considered a modern classic, in fact never make it to a bestsellers list when it was first published? That would be far from a first, I'd guess.
