After many months of the bestseller lists staying pretty much the same week to week, we have four new titles on the round up this time! First up is Ocean Vuong’s newest, The Emperor of Gladness. It takes a lot for a literary fiction title to hit the bestseller lists, and this one is currently the #1 Indie Bestseller in hardcover fiction. Then we have A Curse Carved in Bone by Danielle L. Jensen, book two of the Saga of the Unfated romantasy series. Also new on this list is The Devils, the first in a new fantasy series by Joe Abercrombie. And finally, in the celebrity memoir category, it’s Big Dumb Eyes by comedian Nate Bargatze.

This list continues to lack of diversity on many levels, including being disproportionately by white authors. Some Indie Bestsellers you should know about are Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan, James by Percival Everett, and One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad.

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 this week are bolded.
