The Bestselling Books of the Week, According to All the Lists
Seven years ago, childhood sweethearts Wilhelmina and Dax were on top of the world as the charismatic star and sidekick of a hit kids' TV series. But then the show was cancelled and Dax moved on. Now Wil makes the tabloids instead of callbacks, and Dax is a rising star cast in a buzzy new movie. When his studio struggles to find the right co-star and the pair run into each other, Wil gets the role. The chemistry on both sides of the camera is stratospheric, but this is Wil's chance to reclaim her career—and Dax already left her behind once. Will their romance be an on-screen hit but an off-screen disaster?
Yet again, there isn’t a single title that made it into the top ten of all five of the biggest bestseller lists this week, and only one made it onto four: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins.
We do have three new books appearing on this roundup for the first time, though. The first is Fearless by Lauren Roberts, the final book in the romantasy trilogy that started with Powerless. Another new romantasy bestseller is Enchantra by Kaylie Smith, a standalone story about seven immortal siblings in a “deadly game of hide and seek”. The final new addition is Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall, which came out in March, but has recently become a Reese’s Book Club Pick.
Notably, not a single Empyrean book is represented here—Rebecca Yarros’s reign over the bestseller list seems to have ended, at least for now.
This list continues to have a lack of diversity on many levels, including being disproportionately by white authors. Some Indie Bestsellers you should know about are Audition by Katie Kitamura, James by Percival Everett, and The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer, illustrated by John Burgoyne.
To get these numbers, we look at the USA Today overall top 10; Publishers Weekly overall top 10; The New York Times top 10, both Combined Print & E-Book Fiction and Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction lists; Amazon Charts top 10, both Fiction and Nonfiction; and Indie Bestsellers top 10, Fiction and Nonfiction, both Paperback and Hardcover. New additions to the list this week are bolded.
