Adonis Diaries

March 12, 2014 (Library Online)

Last week, we partnered with Parade Magazine to give readers the scoop on what people are reading all across the country.

To get the data, we looked at our library of 300,000 e-books and measured how many times a title was read by registered users in each state.

(Reading a title is not reading the book, I guess)

Below, we’ve listed the results as published originally in Parade.
