Most sold Amazon books last week: The Lincoln Highway holds the top spot

Christmas week saw some big changes to the list of most sold Amazon books, but nothing new entered the list. Here’s a look at the Top 20.

It’s not surprising that there was a lot of movement on the list of most sold Amazon books during Christmas week. Books are popular gifts, especially for avid readers. There are always going to be certain books that people get for family members.

This week didn’t see anything new join the list. It did see some reentries, though, especially when it came to kids’ books. It also saw a lot of movement of books between themselves.

The most notable is that The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles held the top spot. It moved into that spot during the previous week, knocking Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon out of the spot.

It Ends with Us up, Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone down

The Top 3 saw some change. While The Lincoln Highway held the top spot, The Judge’s List by John Grisham gained two spots to get into second place. It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover saw the biggest movement up the list, gaining six places to get into third place.

In fact, the Top 5 changed with Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and Dune by Frank Herbert both gaining spots.

Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon was knocked out of the Top 5, but still holds a Top 10 spot. It lost five spots during the week, but that wasn’t the biggest movement.

Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman lost 11 places during the week. It dropped into 17th place, but can it hold onto a spot this week?
