If you've been on this blog before, then you've probably seen the Buy it on Amazon and Support Independent Bookstores buttons under whichever book I'm blathering about. Those are affiliate links. If someone clicks the link and buys the book, I earn a few pennies. I can't see who is buying the books, but I can see which books get purchased.

The most common question I get on Pinterest is "Do you actually make money from your affiliate links?" The answer is yes. I make money from them, but it's not a life-changing amount. There's no way I'm quitting my day job anytime soon.

Another common question is "Which books are people buying?" That's what we're talking about today! I crunched the numbers from last year and figured out the top 8 bestselling books on the blog. Why 8 and not 10 or another number? Because several books are tied for 9th place, and I have to draw the line somewhere.

Here's what bookworms are buying.

Funny Books About Distressing Subjects

I regret to inform you that the title of this post may be a lie. "Funny" and "Distressing" are both highly subjective. These books may not be funny or distressing to you.

I guess a better post title would be "Authors Who Use A Light Tone To Write About Serious Subjects," but nobody would click on that. It has too many words.

These books are about gloomy things, but they won't make you feel too gloomy. I thought they were funny!
