July's nearly halfway over, so it's well past time to share the bestsellers for the first half of the year.
A caveat: While other bestseller lists include ebooks, Publishers Weekly has only included print titles.
These are the bestselling adult titles so far this year, but you can also browse the top children's and young-adult books at Publishers Weekly.
And the analytical-minded should also visit Literary Hub, which alerted us to this list, for a few topic trends that PW didn't mention in its summary.
1. The Four Winds, by Kristin Hannah.
2. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy.
3. The Hill We Climb, by Amanda Gorman.
