currently ranks 39th, was released. Aſter Anthony, came three SFF number ones, which helped sustain the genre’s nine- week streak at the top of the Original Fiction chart. Interestingly, none of these three appear among the current top 50, not even romantasy author Sarah J Maas’ much-anticipated House of Flame and Shadow. It missed out on a spot by fewer than 2,000 copies, ranking 56th with more than 67,000 copies sold. Among her various series, Maas’ Court of Thorns and Roses series has been garnering the most atention this year across print and digital formats as evident from the first book making 14th place.

NUMBER 15 ON THE
In sixth place, one might remember Lunchbox Superhero by Mark and Roxanne Hoyle and illustrated by Gareth Conway as the bestselling title of this year’s WBD, which took place on 7th March. Greg the Sausage Roll enjoyed four weeks at number one in the run-up to the event. David Nicholl’s You Are Here went straight to
the top aſter its 23rd April release and appears in 49th place, below One Day in 37th. A small- screen adaptation introduced Dex and Emma to a new audience when it began streaming on Netflix in February, reinvigorating its sales. “One Day” was not the only book-to-screen
series to land in the first half of the year— however, it seems to have had the most impact on print sales. The authors of the Bridgerton novels, Julia Quinn, and The Three- Body Problem, Cixin Liu, seemed to get their biggest boost in the e-book market instead. Of course, with an incredible six weeks atop the Official UK Top 50, Richard Osman’s The Last Devil to Die is currently the number one book of 2024, having sold more than 200,000 copies in just seven weeks.
