Since there's no end-all-be-all 'best seller' list, BWW Books has rounded up both The New York Times' top sellers as well as Amazon's - providing you with your one-stop look at this week's top reads!
In anticipation of the film adaptation, F. Scott Fitzgerald's THE GREAT GATSBY rose to the top of the ranks on Amazon, outselling any other fiction or nonfiction piece for the week.
Rachel Van Dyken's THE BET took the no. 1 spot on The New York Times' 'Combined Print & E-Book Fiction' Best Seller list, while Sandberg's LEAN IN: WOMEN, WORK, AND THE WILL TO LEAD once again topped nonfiction list, for the fifth week in a row, while also taking the no. 2 spot on Amazon's overall list.
