Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. Here are the stories we covered ourselves on Book Riot this week.
Most of this week’s bestsellers are familiar titles, and there are five that all the lists can agree on, including the tradwife thriller Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. Two titles appearing here for the first time: King of Gluttony by Ana Huang, which is the sixth book in the Kings of Sin romance series, and Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About: A Memoir by Isabel Klee. I really enjoy Isabel Klee’s videos about fostering dogs, so I’m glad to see her memoir is doing well!
The most read books on Goodreads this week are familiar titles, but with a new entry leading the pack: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke shot up to the top spot last week, and it’s holding onto that position. There’s a big gap between this tradwife thriller and the book in the #2 spot, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Unsurprisingly, there’s already a movie adaptation in the works for Yesteryear, starring Anne Hathaway.
