After entering the list the previous week, Stephen King’s Billy Summers climbs to the top of the list of most sold Amazon books last week.

The Stephen King novel entered on the low side during the previous week. We just knew that it had to move up the list. It gained 16 places during the week to take over the top spot. That did mean The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave dropped a spot after weeks at the top.

The move up the list wasn’t that surprising. There’s a good chance that it will move up the list of most read Amazon books during this week after only just entering.

ANdy Weir’s Project Hail Mary also lost some places, but this one dropped out of the Top 3. After losing three spots, it landed in fifth place.

We Were Never Here enters, A Letter from Your Teacher up

There were two new additions to the list, with one of them entering into the Top 3. We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz made it into third place. It’s part of the reason for Project Hail Mary dropping down the list.

Nolyn by Michael J. Sullivan is another new addition, and this one is an Audible original. It made it into 15th place, and there is a chance that it could work up the list as more people find out about it.

There are also some notable movers up and down the list. A Letter from Your Teacher by Shannon Olsen gained six places, which isn’t surprising considering it’s the first week of school for many this week.

The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller and The Cellist by Daniel Silva both lost seven places on the list. Will they keep their places this week?
