And that’s week four of our combined US/UK top ten fiction chart, there are an awful lot of titles in that list which are completely new to me and several that have gone straight on my TBR list.

We will do another next week and see how they have changed. How many of this week’s top ten have you read?

    The only one on there I’ve read is “The Girl on the Train,” which I was surprised to see on this list at all, given how long it’s been out. Definitely a few others on here I want to read now, though! “Me Before You” has been on my TBR list for awhile, and “Shadow Rider” and “Fool Me Once” sound really good.
