Top 10 Best-Selling Books Right Now: What Everyone’s Reading
Below are the top ten best-selling books based on an analysis of data from major retailers and resources (in alphabetical order):
The Book of Bill by Alex Hirsch: This famous author brings back his infamous villain from Gravity Falls to tell his side of the story.
By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult: This instant #1 bestseller was a quick hit with fans of the famous author. Here, she tells a dual timeline, a Shakespeare-themed book about two strong female playwrights.
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas: This fantasy re-telling of Beauty and the Beast remains a huge hit, thanks to its popularity on social media. It seems like EVERYONE is reading it right now, and it delivers. (My rating: ★★★★★; ACOTAR Reading Guides)
Good Energy by Casey Means: This is the top nonfiction book right now, and it shares cutting-edge research and data about how metabolism affects so many of our health problems.
The Housemaid by Freida McFadden: This is book one in a viral psychological thriller series about a locked-in housemaid that’s beloved on social media. Over a million copies have been sold, which is a very rare feat. It’s remained popular for quote some time now.
Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros: This insanely popular dragon fantasy sequel remains popular with readers getting into the series, but you should definitely read the first book, Fourth Wing first. (My rating: ★★★★☆)
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover: With the recent movie adaptation release of Hoover’s most popular book, it’s become a bestseller again. It’s a domestic violence story about a woman blooming into her own. (My rating: ★★★★☆)
It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover: This book was published after It Ends With Us, but it’s actually a prequel. I still think it works best to read it after It Ends With Us, though. (My rating: ★★★☆☆)
Spirit Crossing by William Kent Kreuger: This popular author is back with a mystery about a missing teen and her connection to a dead Native American woman.
The Women by Kristin Hannah: This historical fiction novel is very high on the bestseller lists for the fifth month now. 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 actually 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, By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult topped just about every bestseller list I checked.

Yes! I agree — I liked both but I preferred Yours Truly as well. Like you, I love Abby Jiminez’s books. Part of Your World was excellent. I just gave it to my sister and she also loved it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and recommendations.
