Notes:
Several books showed some staying power from the previous month, but the top five are yet again all new reviews, with a few more sprinkled in in the next ten.
AI bots scraping the site have rendered total site traffic statistics pretty meaningless (nominally, visitor-numbers are up 120 per cent over October ... would that that reflected real-life users ...) -- though at least it's still possible to differentiate between the genuinely popular and the hoovered-up pages (as the bots spend essentially no time on any pages they *visit*).
For recent bestseller lists, go to previous lists.
For annual and older lists, see also the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, , 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 , 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 lists.
