Kristin Hannah’s latest book soars to the top of the list of most sold Amazon books of the week. Here’s a look at the full Top 20.

There was plenty of movement on the list throughout the week. A lot of current books moved up the list, with some dropping off at the same time. There were also plenty of new additions or reentries throughout the week.

The biggest mover was The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. The newest addition to her collection moved up 13 places after entering for the first time last week. It soared into first place, which isn’t all that surprising considering her name. I’m actually a little surprised Firefly Lane didn’t make it to the list.

Meanwhile, the Bridgerton books gained on the list throughout the week. The first novel got back into second place, while The Viscount Who Loved Me gained two spots to get into the Top 3. Further down the list, the third and fourth books moved up slightly with the fifth book remaining steady.

There were plenty of new additions and reentries. The top addition was The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, which reentered the list in sixth place. This and the Lord of the Rings series may gain on the list this year as we get closer to the release date of the Amazon series.

James Patterson’s The Russian was the highest addition in terms of purely new arrivals. He teamed up with James O. Born to bring this novel for all thriller fans.

The other new additions were at the bottom of the list, but that doesn’t mean they’ll stay there. The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose and Prodigal Son by Gregg Hurwitz join in 19th and 20th place respectively.
