In our adult collection, we break our fiction out into a few different genres: general fiction, science-fiction & fantasy, romance, and mystery. Let's take a look at the titles with the most checkouts in each genre that were released this year. Since we're only looking at books that came out in 2024, that's why you're not seeing some of the top overall circulating books (cough*Colleen Hoover*cough). Check out our 2024 Wrapped post on Facebook to see overall checkouts and other fun statistics from this year!
Without further ado, here are the top checkouts in each genre. (They didn't make nice, even top 10 lists due to ties in circulation numbers.)
