The Flatshare (Quercus) by Beth O'Leary (pictured) has once again topped the Amazon Charts' Most-Sold: Fiction ranking, as Adam Kay's This is Going to Hurt (Picador), two years on from publication, claimed the Most-Sold: Non-Fiction number one. The junior doctor memoir also charted second to Michelle Obama's Becoming (Penguin) in the Most-Read: Non-Fiction ranking.
Elsewhere in Most-Sold: Fiction, Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing (Corsair) and Rebecca Searle's In Five Years (Quercus) climbed, with Hilary Mantel's The Mirror and the Light (Fourth Estate) jumping two places up the chart the week ahead of its shortlisting in the Women's Prize for Fiction 2020.
The Flatshare climbed three places in Most-Read: Fiction, but the list was still dominated by Harry Potter titles. J K Rowling's 1997-published debut Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Pottermore/Bloomsbury) seems to have eclipsed the usual Most-Read: Fiction number one, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, as perhaps locked-down readers begin to re-read the series again.
Educational workbooks made a return to the Most-Sold: Non-Fiction chart, as the end of the Easter holidays loomed. However, two weeks ahead of its May publication, Joe Wicks' Wean in 15 (Bluebird) hit fourth place.
