The New York Times Bestseller List

Every week The New York Times publishes several lists of bestselling books. There are several lists, because each list is for a different category. For example, there's a fiction list, a nonfiction list, a children's list, a graphic novel list, etc.

Being a Times bestseller is a huge accomplishment for an author and the publishing company. The publisher's are so proud that they often say on the cover of the author's book, New York Times Bestselling Book, or New York Times Bestselling Author.

If you don't receive The New York Times, the bestseller list is also available online. I have included the link below. The online edition of the bestseller list is updated every Saturday. I would highly recommend that you check out the list. In addition to seeing what books are popular, The Times writes reviews for books that they feel deserve a review. They may write a review for a book they feel is superb, but they may also write a review for a book that is highly criticized, or is often considered provocative.

The New York Times bestseller list is another great way to discovered great books.
