Aaron's Books Bestsellers of 2009

This year in book sales at Aaron's Books is marked by the release of Lititz by Kathy Blankenbiller, which undeniably was our bestselling book. (like triple digits above anything else)  So taking that one out of the mix, here's the run down of our bestselling new books and authors!
