TITLE ROSE UP THE CHART TO THIRD PLACE
other hand, Prince Harry’s Spare may be too far out of reach for any new 2023 title—the royal memoir, still puting in regular shiſts in the Top 50 despite dropping out of the Hardback Non-fiction chart—is currently on 664,751 copies sold.
The Healthy Air Fryer Book claimed another week atop the Hardback Non-Fiction, with its predecessor notching up second. Clare Andrews’
The Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook claimed third, as Jenny Tschiesche’s The Air-Fryer Cookbook rose into sixth. With air-fryer sales rising a reported 3,000% in 2022, let’s hope the cookbook market can stay as buoyant.
Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry chalked up a fourth week in the Mass Market Fiction number one, having sold just under 100,000
copies since its release at the start of March. So far this year, only 2022 bestseller Colleen Hoover’s It Ends with Us has sold more in the Adult Fiction category. The TikTok-boosted romance surpassed a million copies sold through the TCM Continues overleaf
ara Cox’s Thrown wheeled into a second week atop the Bookstat e-book chart for the week ending 25th March, as Taylor Jenkins
Reid’s Daisy Jones and The Six rose to second place, boosted by its Amazon Prime adaptation. M J Lee’s What the Shadows Hide was the highest new entry, as both Ian Rankin’s A Heart Full of Headstones and Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry—the current Mass Market Fiction and Publisher E-Book Ranking number one—climbed up the top 10. As spoiled in the sentence before, Garmus’ début
continued to reign in the Publisher E-Book Ranking, for the week ending 18th March. Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You débuted in second place, with Julie Shackman’s A Scottish Country Escape hitting fourth place. It’s rare for a non-fiction title to hit the e-book
charts, but a cookbook in the digital charts is near unheard of, given the print edition tends to offer beautiful photography and bookbuyers generally don’t have to carry cookbooks around in their

day-to-day life. However, Nathan Anthony’s Bored of Lunch: The Healthy Air Fryer Book was a big enough seller to defy format expectations, charting sixth in the Publisher E-Book Ranking the same week its hardback sold 111,228 copies via Nielsen BookScan’s TCM.
