Adam Kay's Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas (Picador) has made a surgical strike on the Amazon Charts Most-Sold: Non-Fiction number one, with the This is Going to Hurt sequel beating Elton John's Me (Macmillan) to the top spot. Though the former junior doctor's second title garnered the highest amount of pre-orders in the chart, John's memoir earned the tag "conversation starter", with its readers the quickest to review after finishing reading.
Though Mrs Hinch: The Activity Journal (Michael Joseph) was the UK Official Top 50 number one through Nielsen BookScan, with the Instagram influencer's title shifting 81,651 copies in its first week on sale, it was nowhere to be seen in the Most-Sold: Non-Fiction top 20. However, her first title Hinch Yourself Happy (Penguin)—which reigned as the BookScan number one for two weeks back in April—bounded back up in sales, making its debut in the Most-Sold: Non-Fiction chart in eighth place.
Bill Bryson's The Body (Transworld), the previous week's Most-Sold: Non-Fiction number one, legged up into the Most-Read: Non-Fiction top spot, elbowing out Louis Theroux's Gotta Get Theroux This (Macmillan).
Margaret Atwood's The Testaments (Vintage) boomeranged back into the Most-Sold: Fiction number one following its joint Booker Prize win last week. Fellow prizewinner Bernardine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other (Penguin) debuted in the chart in sixth place.
