Weekly Bestsellers, 9 November 2020

V.E. Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue remains in the top 10 on two lists this week.

Note: The USA Today list found last week on the 5th turns out to be this week’s list, not last week’s; thus all its rankings on this page are equal to the previous page’s.

The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, where:

= same as last week

+/- change since last week

+ back on list

++ new on list

x no longer on list (number of x’s: weeks off list)

All lists rank hardcovers and paperbacks separately, except for the USA Today list, which is a single list combining fiction and nonfiction in all formats. Dates shown are posted dates, except those in parentheses, which are dates compiled. New York Times posts its list one week in advance of print publication.

Note that some sources do not compile paperback bestsellers, and some exclude YA books (like the Harry Potter series) from their hardcover and paperback fiction lists.
