The Most Popular Book From 1945-2022

This list is from an article I found scrolling Facebook and I simply made this list because I wanted to save it for myself. Note- not all of these books were published that year; they simply sold a lot of copies that year. Enjoy! I definitely found some books to add to my TBR
