We won’t be prognosticating or stumping here, but in honor of Election Day, we do have a few voting-themed posts in the pipeline.

First up is one we can file under “no duh”: Barnes & Noble analyzed book sales last month to discover that the U.S. is pretty polarized right now.

The chain reported a 57 percent increase in political book sales compared to 2017 and shared a map indicating which way each state’s literary tastes leaned.

Check it out, along with (unsurprising) info on which books were the hottest sellers, here.
