Always books. Never boring.

The only books on all five of the bestseller lists this week are by authors you’ll recognize: Colleen Hoover, Sarah J. Maas, and Kristin Hannah. We do have one new title in the mix, though: Daydream by Hannah Grace, the third book in the Maple Hill romance series — book one was Icebreaker, and book two was Wildfire.

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver is climbing back up the charts because the paperback came out at the end of August. It has deckled edges and reflective foil lettering on the cover.

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 The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki, translated by Jesse Kirkwood, and Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

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.
