When it came to genres, literary fiction was the most popular kind of fiction. Unlike last year, where thrillers and politics dominated the list. According to the TPL this year is all about personal stories driven by character and voice.

But while the likeness for literary fiction is on the rise, Torontonians are still showing a huge interest in American Politics.

Last year, one of the top-circulating books was the explosively popularFire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, by Michael Wolff. This year, it was former First Lady Michelle Obama's memoir, Becoming.
