The second annual Libby Awards were just announced last week. If you’re unfamiliar, Libby is the library reading app by Overdrive. It’s used in over 22,000 public libraries and has over one billion checkouts.
In other words, Libby has a very unique perspective when it comes to reading habits and books, which is why looking at their list of the biggest books of March is so interesting.
Unsurprisingly, their list has some of the same ones we mentioned in our own March roundup—there’s the fifth entry into Suzanne Collins’s mega-bestselling Hunger Games series, and the third in Tracy Deonn’s Legendborn Cycle series. There’s also new nonfiction by John Green, and a new fantasy novella by Amal El-Mohtar, who co-wrote the book that had thee Bigolas Dickolas in a chokehold.
Continue below for those books and more.
