Bob Mortimer was the Father’s Day king, with And Away... (S&S) soaring into a fourth week atop the Paperback Non-fiction chart and jumping 17% in volume week on week. Covering the full spectrum of dad-lit, Dave Grohl’s The Storyteller (S&S) jumped to second place, with Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat (Penguin) completing the top three.
Dolly Alderton’s Everything I Know About Love (Penguin) has boomeranged back into the chart since its BBC One adaptation dropped.
Molly-Mae Hague’s Becoming Molly-Mae (Ebury Spotlight) continued to be the nation’s type on paper as it spent a second week as the Hardback Non-fiction number one. Dr Julie Smith’s Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? (Michael Joseph) cruised into second, as former Libertines frontman Peter Doherty’s memoir A Likely Lad (Little,Brown), co-authored with Simon Spence, débuted in third.
Continuing the Father’s Day theme, All New Dad Jokes (Cassell) hit 14th, with Damian Lewis’ The Flame of Resistance (Quercus) charting 16th and Clarkson’s Diddly Squat making a return to the Hardback Non-fiction chart and achieved the rare feat of a placing in both non-fiction top 20s in the same week.
