The Testaments enters high on the list of most sold Amazon books, while The Handmaid’s Tale jumps up the list. Here’s a complete look from Sept. 8 to 14.

The Handmaid’s Tale sequel has been one of the most highly anticipated upcoming books of the year. Now, The Testaments has debuted high on the list of most sold Amazon books between Sept. 8 and 14, but would it be enough to knock Where the Crawdads Sing off the top spot?

Not quite! The Testaments debuted in the No. 2 spot, which is certainly a worthy place. In fact, except for Where the Crawdads Sing, the whole Top 5 on the list is made up of new additions. No. 6 is The Handmaid’s Tale, jumping 12 spots as fans want to check out the original book before getting the sequel.

Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone lost eight spots, dropping to No. 18.
