The NYT bestseller list has been a horrible indicator of what's selling for a while. You can often see well-known authors make the list weeks before their books are out due to massive orders by big box stores.

A much better source are Indie Bound's Indie Bestseller lists: https://www.indiebound.org/indie-bestsellers. While still able to be gamed, these lists are compiled based off of sales by independent booksellers. I've often found the books here to be better quality than the NYT bestsellers.

Handbook for Mortals is currently #4 on Indie Bound's Children's Interest Bestsellers list :/

I love how at least half of the Childrens Illustrated Best sellers are all old books.

Nice Bestseller list. Does anyone here has other good (and independent) list?
