The Best Selling Used Books of 2023...So Far

With half of 2023 in the rearview mirror, we wanted to take some time to spotlight the books that have dominated the best-selling list here on Pango so far this year. The ten titles you see below rank as the most bought, sold, and read by our amazing community of readers over the past six months. 

Unsurprisingly, Colleen Hoover, the best-selling author on Pango, has three separate books on this list: It Starts With Us, It Ends With Us, and Verity. It's also not surprising to see romance queen Emily Henry's Beach Read and fantasy legend Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns And Roses continue to sell extremely well. Rebecca Yarros's Fourth Wing—which ranks at number four despite being published in April—is a surprising recent entry, while Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin continues to expand its devoted fanbase.
