Always books. Never boring.

For the last few months, the bestseller lists couldn’t seem to agree on the biggest books of the moment. They all have very different rankings of titles, and some weeks, there wasn’t a single book that showed up in the top 10 of all five of the most popular bestseller lists. This week, they seem to be more in alignment, which means there are fewer titles in this roundup. Two books are bestsellers on every list: James by Percival Everett and Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.

The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters - book cover

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 The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates, The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami, and The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters.

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.
