While we are still waiting for Amazon’s curated list of The Best Books of 2018 So Far, you can already explore top titles based on their sales since January.
The list of Top 100 print bestsellers of 2018 from Amazon includes books with the biggest number of sold print copies (paperback and hardcover) since January 1, 2018.
Year by year, the list of print bestsellers is more and more populated by children’s literature, biographies, and self-help books, while novels dominate the Kindle list.
So far, Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff is the #1 bestseller of 2018. It was obvious the biography would break the charts. So far, it’s #1 both in print and Kindle rankings.
Released on January 5, 2018, the book documents in detail first nine months of Donald Trump’s hectic presidency, and shows how and why the 45th President of the United States has become “the king of discord and disunion.”
The second most sold print book of 2018 so far is A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo. This charming book, written by Jill Twiss, is addressed to kids aged 5-8 and features a bunny who lives with his Grampa, Mike Pence – the Vice President of the United States. Cute, beautifully illustrated, the book explores issues of democracy and same-sex marriage.
A Higher Loyalty by James Comey, released in mid-April, is climbing up the sales rankings rapidly. After two months, the biography is already #3 title on the list of print bestsellers of 2018.
In the book, former FBI director shares his “never-before-told experiences from some of the highest-stakes situations of his career in the past two decades of American government.”
Other titles we recommend are Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines, with a collection of 125 classic recipes for gathering (#5 on the list), and Jen Sincero’s You Are a Badass, a self-help bestseller that will guide you how to stop doubting your greatness and start living an awesome life.
Below, we present Top 5 print bestsellers on Amazon. Scroll further down to reveal the list of Top 20 books. Next to each title, you will find information about Prime eligibility. If the book is Prime-eligible and you are a Prime member, you will get it delivered for free in two days.
