Best-Selling Books of 2014

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2014 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

The Fault in Our Stars finally topped the chart, capping the YA-weepie boom, but 2014's standout pattern was Minecraft: five official handbooks charted as the game conquered children's reading. YouTuber culture broke through too, with Zoella's Girl Online setting a debut sales record and the Pointless Book trading on TV fame. Gone Girl held strong as domestic noir matured. The surprises include Wreck This Journal, an interactive activity book selling like a novel, and The Chimp Paradox, the sports-psychology guide beginning a remarkable multi-year run. A year when video games and vloggers reshaped what bestsellers looked like.
