Have you read Victoria Helen Stone's False Step? No? Surprising, given that it's a best seller, and that you clicked on an article about books and publishing-I thought you were more widely read. Surely you've at least gotten through Loreth Anne White's The Dark Bones? Julianne MacLean's A Fire Sparkling? Claire McGowan's What You Did?
No? Each of these books beat out Where the Crawdads Sing, then the No. 1 New York Times best-selling novel, on Amazon Charts-which lists the most-read and most-sold books of the week-in recent months.* Each one is a bright star in the self-contained, lucrative universe of ebooks. And each one was published by Amazon Publishing, a subsidiary of the store we already buy everything else from.
