Theo of Golden by Allen Levi and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir continue to dominate multiple bestseller lists this week. Aggregated data from USA Today, Publishers Weekly, New York Times, Amazon, and Indie Booksellers show these titles leading the charts. New entries include Lena Dunham's memoir Famesick and David Baldacci's Hope Rises.
Theo of Golden by Allen Levi appears on all five major bestseller lists, including New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Amazon, and Indie Bestsellers. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir follows closely, topping four lists. Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl returned to three lists—NYT, Amazon, and Indie Bestsellers—possibly boosted by news of its ebooks becoming available to libraries, according to the aggregated rankings released April 30, 2026. 4 lists include Famesick: A Memoir by Lena Dunham (Publishers Weekly, USA Today, NYT, Indie Bestsellers), Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke (Publishers Weekly, USA Today, NYT, Indie Bestsellers), and The Correspondent by Virginia Evans (USA Today, NYT, Indie Bestsellers). 3-list books feature Hope Rises by David Baldacci (Publishers Weekly, USA Today, NYT), London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family’s Search for Truth by Patrick Radden Keefe (NYT, Amazon, Indie Bestsellers), and Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America’s Elite Universities by Elise Stefanik (Publishers Weekly, USA Today, NYT). The lists draw from combined print and e-book fiction and nonfiction rankings. Indie highlights include Kin by Tayari Jones, The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali, and One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. Observers note a continued lack of diversity, with many top spots held by white authors.
