Always books. Never boring.

The bestseller list this week has a smattering of different genres: historical fiction, mysteries, thrillers, romance, romantasy, memoirs, and nonfiction. Most of the names will be familiar to you, but there are a couple new titles this week, both romances: Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage, the third in a western-themed romance series, and Hexed by Emily McIntire, the sixth in a dark fairy tale-inspired romance series.

Melania by Melania Trump has risen up the ranks of the bestseller lists again, unfortunately. The New York Times calls it “a brazen whitewash of a presidency.”

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 Before We Forget Kindness by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong, and The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

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.
