Amazon Charts: Haig doubles up at the top
Matt Haig's The Comfort Book (Canongate) has claimed the top spot in Amazon's Most-Sold: Non-Fiction chart, as his novel The Midnight Library clocks back in at the top of Most-Sold: Fiction.
The e-book edition of the novel, which became Haig's first ever overall number one through Nielsen BookScan's TCM earlier this year, spent a brief period priced below £2 last week.
Mhairi McFarlane's Last Night (HarperCollins) and Clare Chambers' Small Pleasures (Weidenfeld & Nicolson) also bounced into the top three after their Kindle editions dropped in price to 99p.
The Comfort Book rocketed 18 places up Most-Sold: Non-Fiction and earned the "most anticipated" tag, racking up more pre-orders than any other book in the chart. His 2018 title, Notes on a Nervous Planet, bounced into the top 20. Charles Spencer's The White Ship (William Collins) and Caitlin Moran's More Than a Woman (Ebury) also debuted in the top three.
