First Anniversary of ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’

Today is the first anniversary of Where the Crawdads Sing. I am grateful to my agent for finding Putnam (the best and most fun publishers), who launched Crawdads with a fabulous tour last August.

Only two weeks later, Reese Witherspoon chose my novel as her September Book; two weeks after that it landed on the NYT Bestseller List and is still there.

Book sellers, giant ones and tiny ones, recommended Crawdads. And then came my readers. I treasure the connection I feel with you all. You have filled my life.

Sometime along the way, Reese announced that she’s producing the movie! CBS Sunday Morning featured the story. Then Crawdads reached #1. What a year!

I cannot even express my gratitude, but I’ll try with a simple ‘thank you!’

I’m running out of ways to say it but still, I’m so excited to share that Where the Crawdads Sing continues to top the national bestsellers lists!

Crawdads has been on the New York Times Bestsellers List for 44 weeks! It’s astonishing and thanks to all of you. On the Combined Print & E-Book Fiction list, it is now in the #2 slot, down from #1 just last week, and on the Hard Cover Fiction list, it remains at #1 — for a total of 23 weeks at #1!

On Amazon’s Most Sold & Most Read Books of the Week charts, Crawdads remains number 1, with 45 weeks on the list.

And at IndieBound’s Indie Bestseller Lists, based on sales in hundreds of our wonderful independent bookstores nationwide, Crawdads is still at #1.

Thank you all so much for your support!
