The Current Best Selling Books on the Market
With thousands of books written every year on all sorts of topics from business to fiction to religious, it is impossible to read every book released. Thankfully, The New York Times gives us some help by releasing and constantly updating the best-seller list for all of the topics you can imagine. Here are the current best sellers for four different categories.
Hardcover Fiction
The number 3 best seller for hardcover Fiction Books is Daddy’s Girl by Lisa Scottoline. This is a fast-paced thriller that keeps the reader’s attention and will keep you reading non-stop. The number 2 non-fiction book is Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella. This book takes the main character, Becky, amidst a possible love triangle with her husband and his ex-girlfriend as she shops for the perfect world for her baby. Finally, the number 1 best seller is Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. This is another contemporary thriller by Picoult about a high school shooting.
Hardcover Non-Fiction
The number 3 non-fiction best seller on the New York Times list is ‘I Feel Bad About My Neck’ by Nora Ephron. This comedy book discusses the topic of aging, in particular women aging. The number 2 book is ‘A Long Way Gone’ by Ishmael Beah, which takes into account the life of a young boy at the age of 12 who is swept into the horrifying world of Civil War. The best seller currently for non-fiction books is ‘In An Instant’ by Lee and Bob Woodruff. This tells the tale of the traumatic experience Bob Woodruff experienced in Iraq and how he and Lee Woodruff worked through the difficult times after.
Children
Number 3 on the list for children’s books is Flotsam by David Wiesner. It all begins as a boy finds a camera that is washed ashore, and from there it is an adventure full of pictures. The number 2 best seller is Today I Will Fly! by Mo Willems, which tells the story of a piggie who is optimistic about flying and an elephant that is skeptical. With a little help from others, amazing things happen. Lastly, the number one book is Someday by Alison McGhee, which tells an enchanting story of a mother’s dream coming true, watching her child live life to the fullest.
Religion
The number 3 religious book is The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. This book guides you to learn to understand and speak the unique language of love through a couple’s guidance. The second book on the best seller list is by Richard Dawkins entitled The God Delusion. Richard Dawkins attacks arguments for the existence of God in this controversial book. The number one religious book on the market is Grace by Anne Lamott, which takes Lamott’s life into the realm of reality as problems of faith pop up in the most unexpected places.
There are hundreds of brilliantly written books on the market, even within the four categories listed above. But starting with the best sellers from the New York Times is a good place to begin. Enjoy!
