The Bestselling Books of the Week, According to All the Lists

Always books. Never boring.

In these week’s condensed bestseller list, there are only three titles that made it into the top ten on all four lists. The list of books on just two of the lists is more interesting, and it’s the only section with new additions that weren’t on the list last week. This is the first time since we’ve started doing this feature that a picture book or board book has made the list: Little Blue Truck’s Valentine. The Indie Bestseller list shows a few titles that presumably got a bump from Valentine’s Day, including All About Love by bell hooks.

To get these numbers, we look at the New York Times, both Combined Print & E-Book Fiction and Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction lists; Amazon Charts, both Fiction and Nonfiction; Publishers Weekly; and Indie Bestsellers, Fiction and Nonfiction, both Paperback and Hardcover. New additions to the list are bolded.

These bestseller list continue to disproportionately feature white authors, especially in the top spots. Some new books that didn’t quite make this list and are worth checking out include Victory City by Salman Rushdie (Indie Bestsellers #4) and The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan (Indie Bestsellers #15).
