Below are the top ten best-selling books based on an analysis of data from major retailers and resources (in alphabetical order):
Cher: The Memoir, Part One: The first installment of Cher’s two-part memoir, where she shares intimate details of her unique life, from her challenging childhood to her rise to fame with Sonny Bono. This candid account explores her complex relationships, career milestones, and personal struggles.
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros: This suspenseful fantasy romance series about a war college with dragons has been a massively bestselling hit for 1.5 years now. And it totally lives up to the hype. (My rating: ★★★★★)
James by Percival Everett: Fresh off winning the National Book Award and being named Barnes & Noble’s Book of the Year, this Huck Finn retelling from Jim’s perspective has climbed all the charts. (My rating: ★★★★☆; great on audio)
The Mirror by Nora Roberts: The second book in the Lost Bride series by a popular author. When Sonya inherits a haunted Victorian mansion in Maine, she discovers dark family secrets tied to an antique mirror and a centuries-old curse. As she uncovers the tragic past of a murdered bride, Sonya must solve the mystery to break the curse.
Now or Never by Janet Evanovich: The 31st book in the Stephanie Plum series by a popular author. Stephanie is torn between her two fiancés while juggling her dangerous work as a bounty hunter. As she tracks down fugitives, including a masked hero, a criminal trafficker, and a self-proclaimed vampire, she must also make a life-changing decision about her future.
The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass comes a return to Indigenous wisdom and the natural world, exploring themes of gratitude, reciprocity, and community. Through the example of the serviceberry tree, Kimmerer advocates for a new model of wealth based on interconnectedness and mutual flourishing.
The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent: The third book in the TikTok favorite Crowns of Nyaxia series and the first book of the Shadowborn Duet. Mische, a vampire seeking redemption after losing everything, is forced to join Asar, a scarred prince, on a dangerous mission to the underworld to resurrect the god of death. As they face treacherous trials and battle their growing forbidden attraction, Mische must decide between betraying Asar for her sun god’s redemption or embracing the darkness.
To Die For by David Baldacci: The third book in the 6:20 Man series by a popular author.

As he uncovers unsettling truths about Betsy’s parents’ death, Devine discovers a conspiracy.
We Who Wrestle With God by Jordan Peterson: The renowned psychologist examines foundational Biblical stories of rebellion, sacrifice, and triumph, exploring their cultural and psychological significance. Through these narratives, he encourages a deeper understanding of our souls, societies, and spiritual purpose.
The Women by Kristin Hannah: This historical fiction novel remained very high on the bestseller lists all year long. It’s easily one of her best books yet, transporting the reader to the Vietnam War (and its aftermath) through the eyes of a young female nurse. I thought it was excellent on audio. (My rating: ★★★★★; The Women Discussion Questions)
Methodology: Picking the Current Best-Selling Books
It can actually be tough to figure out what books are best-sellers right now because the various retailers and sources use varied metrics plus often break the lists down into different categories. So, what I have done is scoured the following best book lists (of the most popular books right now) to figure out which books were most common to all of these sources:
- Amazon
- Barnes & Noble
- Bookshop.org
- Libro.fm
- New York Times bestseller list
- Publishers Weekly
- Target
- USA Today
It became quickly clear which books rose to the top overall, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here.
NOTES
I ONLY included adult titles, both fiction and nonfiction.
When in doubt, I gave a bit more weight to the list of Publishers Weekly, which is based on the data of NPD BookScan. It covers about 85 percent of trade print books sold in the United States through direct reporting from major retailers.
Conclusion
Those are the best-selling books right now based on my unique data analysis to help you find your next great read. I keep it updated so you can see exactly what’s hot right now.
To recap, if you’re still struggling to pick just one interesting book to read, James by Percival Everett topped the most bestseller lists I checked.
