Weekly Bestsellers, 26 December


Stephen King’s 11/22/63 remains in the #1 spot on both the New York Times and Publishers Weekly fiction hardcover lists, and bumps one or more notches on the other three print lists compiled here too.

Holiday shopping, perhaps, bumped other titles as well, even after many weeks on the charts. Murakami’s 1Q84 is as high as #3 on four print lists, and several titles by George R. R. Martin also rose in rankings.
