This week’s bestselling books story is a lot like last week’s: all three of Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean books ranked on all five lists with both the original and deluxe editions of Onyx Storm showing up in some cases. We also have two newcomers this week: the latest mystery from The Housemaid author Freida McFadden and the second novel in a dark romantic fantasy trilogy.

Cover of We Do Not Part by Han Kang

Guess what? This list continues to have a lack of diversity on many levels, including being disproportionately by white authors. I know, shocking! Some Indie Bestsellers you should know about are Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People by Imani Perry, and We Do Not Part by Han Kang, translated by e. yaewon and Paige Aniyah Morris.

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.
