The Bestselling Books of the Week, According to All the Lists
It’s common knowledge in the book world that summer is a slow point. While we might be putting together summer reading plans and stack of beach reads, the publishing industry slows down as the weather heats up: you won’t see the biggest book releases until fall. So it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the bestseller list is looking pretty stagnant lately. The only new addition to the list is BTS’s recent memoir.
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 Twisted Games by Ana Huang (Publishers Weekly #6, USA Today #4) and Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley (Indie YA Bestsellers #14).
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.
