recipe book is currently being serialised in the Daily Mail. Is that the sound of distant hooves? Unicorns have snuck back into the Pre-school top 20 as summer approaches, with 350,000-copy bestseller Where’s the Unicorn? making a return, and Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks’ Sugarlump and the Unicorn rising.

eter James’ Dead at First Sight has stormed to the Monthly E-Book Ranking


number one spot, displacing namesake E L James’ The Mister after a month in pole position. Though (Peter) James’ last four titles have gone straight to the top of the Weekly E-Book Ranking, with a total of 52 appearances in that chart overall, this is the first time James has ever topped the monthly top 50. While The Mister slipped to


eighth place, the rest of the top five remained fairly consistent from April’s list. Adam Kay’s This is Going to Hurt maintained a strong second place, and Heather Morris’ The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Lee Child’s Past Tense and Liane Moriarty’s Nine Perfect Strangers swapped places in third, fourth and fifth.

Hope novel Valley of Death blazed into the top 10, as Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens also made its début in the monthly chart. The title, originally published in 1990, beamed into 13th place, as its Amazon Prime adaptation landed on the 31st of the month. In the first week of June, it swiped the Weekly E-Book Ranking number one. Beth O’Leary’s


début The Flatshare climbed several flights in May, leaping from 50th place (ground floor) in April’s chart to 10th (nice views and a roof garden). Though it may seem the
