Weekly Bestsellers, 16 September 2024

Five titles published on September 3rd debut on lists this week. Most prominent is Abigail Owen’s The Game Gods Play (Entangled: Red Tower Books), ranking #1 at New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. Others include the US edition of Matt Haig’s The Life Impossible (Viking), on four print lists; Harper L. Woods’s The Cursed (Bramble), on three lists; and Tigest Girma’s YA Immortal Dark (Little, Brown), on three lists; and Aiden Thomas’s YA Celestial Monsters (Feiwel & Friends), on three lists.

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.
