Move over New York Times bestseller list, it’s time for the annual Bentley Library Top 10! Each May we query our database to find out which books, audiobooks and DVDs have circulated the most times during the academic year (excluding any items placed on reserve for a class). There are many ties in the rankings this year, so each of the lists includes more than ten titles, giving you even more to choose from.
This year’s most popular fiction included 
blockbusters by J. K. Rowling, Gillian Flynn and E. L. James. In nonfiction, Susan Cain’s Quiet: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can’t Stop Talking and Cheryl Strayed’s Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail appeared on the both the books and audiobooks lists. Remarkably, Malcolm Gladwell’s The Outliers landed in the Top 10 for a fourth consecutive year!
Books that were released as movies fared well, including Life of Pi, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Hunger Games and Cloud Atlas. The Top 10 DVDs list is an interesting mix of TV series and movies, from Downton Abbey to The Game of Thrones and The Avengers to The Iron Lady.
Compiling the Top 10 lists is one of our favorite annual activities; we hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Browse the BENTLEY LIBRARY TOP 10 lists for academic year 2012-2013 in the categories of Popular Reading, Stacks (regular book collection), Audiobooks, Popular DVDs, OverDrive Downloadable eBooks and OverDrive Downloadable Audiobooks:
