Always books. Never boring.

There are no new additions to the bestseller list this week, but there are some shake-ups. Fourth Wing continues to sell well — it’s on all five bestseller lists — but it’s no longer in the number one spot, and the sequel has slid off several of the lists. Instead, the undisputed champion of this week’s bestsellers is Kristin Hannah’s newest: The Women. You might recognize her as the author of the book club darling The Nightingale.

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.

This list continues to have a lack of diversity on many levels, including being disproportionately by white authors. Some other bestsellers you should know about are Medgar & Myrlie by Joy-Ann Reid (NYT & Amazon Bestsellers) and Caste by Isabel Wilkerson (NYT Bestseller).
