The Guardians entered the list of most sold Amazon books, entering extremely high. Meanwhile, The Testaments moved back up and more. Here’s the list.

The list of most sold Amazon books for the week is here. Where the Crawdads Sing may have moved back up into first place last week, but that positioning wasn’t destined to hold.

John Grisham’s latest novel, The Guardians, entered in the top spot. This is despite it just missing out on the Top 5 on the list of most read Amazon books last week. Maybe this week will see something different.

Meanwhile, The Dutch House and The Testaments moved up the list, knocking Stephen King’s The Institute down into fifth place. Hey, it’s still top five!

Some of the biggest movement came from books that have been on the list for a few weeks now. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone moved up seven spots and found itself back into the Top 10. Depending on new books for the week, there’s a chance it will head further up the list, as The Handmaid’s Tale dropped seven places into ninth place.

The biggest mover down the list is now in the last spot. Lauren Landish’s My Big Fat Fake Wedding dropped 11 places. There’s a chance we won’t see the novel in the book this week.

The week did see five new Amazon books enter the list, including The Guardians. Will Wight’s Unsouled was the second-highest, entering in 11th place. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson and The Night Fire by Michael Connelly (yes, the man behind Bosch) were other new entries.
