Tag: 1935 bestsellers

The publishing world saw several new novels by famous authors in 1935 and a few really good new novels. Only one novel on the 1935 list was a holdover from 1934: James Hilton’s Good-bye, Mr. Chips.

Here’s a list of the bestsellers I’ll be reviewing in the next five weeks, along with the dates of the scheduled reviews.
