The top 100 on Amazon UK so far this year.

Updated to reflect the latest Amazon UK rankings. Click any cover to buy on Amazon.

Early in the year, Freida McFadden's grip looks total: The Housemaid leads a provisional chart with her thrillers, The Housemaid's Secret, Dear Debbie, Never Lie, The Surrogate Mother and Ward D, scattered throughout. Florence Knapp's debut The Names sits at two, the literary book-club pick gathering pace. The emerging pattern is comfort and nostalgia, Coco Wyo colouring books, Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar and Guess How Much I Love You all charting, alongside enduring backlist in Atomic Habits and The Psychology of Money. Kristin Hannah places two titles, The Women and The Nightingale. With the year still unfolding, the shape is thrillers, colouring and reliable backlist, awaiting whatever breaks out next.
