The Bestselling Books of the Week, According to All the Lists
โ Books ๐ 2026-02-12 ๐ค surdeus ๐๏ธ 1New to the bestseller lists this week is George Saundersโs Vigil. Itโs been nine years since his last novel, The Lincoln in the Bardo, was published, so fans have been eagerly awaiting this one! Speaking of eager fans, the other addition to the list this week is Dear Debbie by the current reigning queen of thrillers, Freida McFadden.
Unfortunately, The Invisible Coup is also still on the list, an anti-immigration and pro-ICE book by the far-right editor-at-large at Breitbart News.
This list continues to lack of diversity on many levels, including being disproportionately by white authors. Some Indie Bestsellers you should know about are The Elsewhere Express by Samantha Sotto Yambao, James by Percival Everett, and One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad.
To get these numbers, we look at the New York Times, both Combined Print & E-Book Fiction and Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction lists; Amazon Charts, both Fiction and Nonfiction; Publishers Weekly; USA Today; and Indie Bestsellers, Fiction and Nonfiction, both Paperback and Hardcover.
