Amazon Charts: Jewell sparkles at the top
Lisa Jewell's The Family Upstairs (Cornerstone) crowns the Amazon Charts' Most-Sold: Fiction chart, ending the reign of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club (Penguin).
The Family Upstairs, published in paperback in late 2019, became an enduring lockdown presence in both the Mass-Market Fiction and e-book charts. Its Kindle price was recently lowered to 99p, boosting it back into the Amazon Chart a week ago.
David Walliams and Tony Ross' Megamonster (HarperCollins), the current number one through Nielsen BookScan's Total Consumer Market, scored fourth place in the Most-Sold: Fiction chart, earning the "unputdownable" tag—meaning Kindle users finished it faster than similar books.
The Prime Day deal-boosted Pinch of Nom: Everyday Light (Bluebird) rocketed into the Most-Sold: Non-Fiction number one, 18 months on from publication. Through BookScan, its volume improved more than 600% week on week. Fellow slimming cookbooks James and Paul Anderson's TwoChubbyCubs: Fast and Filling (Yellow Kite) and Pip Payne's The Slimming Foodie (Aster) joined it in the top five, with the slightly less diet friendly Nadiya Bakes (Michael Joseph) rising into third place.
