This Week's Best Sellers
Elizabeth Strout topped our best seller list with two books in the same week. Both feature Lucy Barton and her ex-husband William. Both also involve trips to Maine, which seems like a good place to be this week. See what else your neighbors were reading as they hunkered down.
