Most sold Amazon books last week: The Plot enters, plenty of movement

By Alexandria Ingham

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 25: People enter the newly opened Amazon Books on May 25, 2017 in New York City. Amazon.com Inc.'s first New York City bookstore occupies 4,000 square feet in The Shops at Columbus Circle in Manhattan and stocks upwards of 3,000 books. Amazon Books, like the Amazon Go store, does not accept cash and instead lets Prime members use the Amazon app on their smartphone to pay for purchases. Non-members can use a credit or debit card.

While there weren’t as many new books joining the list of most sold Amazon books last week as previously, there were still some interesting additions. There was also still plenty of movement on the list.

We’ll start with the new books on the list. There were only three new additions to the list, with He Who Fights with Monsters by Shirtaloon as the highest new addition. It entered in 14th place.

Meanwhile, The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz entered in 18th place. The Wizards RPG Team released Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, which made it to 20th place.

With all the releases toward the bottom of the list, you’ll be forgiven for thinking that there wasn’t much movement elsewhere. That certainly wasn’t the case, with many books moving up and down the list of most sold Amazon books.

Shadow and Bone books fall, While Justice Sleeps climbs

The Shadow and Bone books by Leigh Bardugo are certainly worth noting as big movers. The first book in the series lost five places but still holds onto a place in the Top 10 for now. The second book in the series saw the biggest movement across all books on the list. Siege and Storm lost seven places to land in 16th place.

Then there’s Ruin and Rising, which lost six places. It currently sits in 19th place, and we could see the book move out of the list this week.

Meanwhile Private Player by Louise Bay gained five places on the list. That Summer by Jennifer Weiner saw the biggest movement up by gaining six places, narrowly missing out on a place in the Top 10.

Stacey Abrams’s While Justice Sleeps gained two places to get into the Top 5 during the week. And Oh, the Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss gained five places on the list to get into the Top 3.
