Weekly Bestsellers, 30 April

No debuts on print lists this week. The one notable shift might be the reappearance, on a couple lists, of the trade paperback edition of Karen Russell’s Swamplandia!, benefiting from its status as one of the three novel finalists that did not win a Pulitzer Prize a couple weeks ago.
