NYT Best Seller Analysis: June 2025
Monthly breakdown of the NYT Combined Fiction Best Sellers list with a focus on romance and romantasy books.
Hello friends! Here is the June analysis of The New York Times Combined Print & E-Book Fiction Best Sellers list focused on romance and romantasy books.
While the first two posts in this series were free, these detailed updates are now a benefit for paid subscribers (only US$5/month or US$50/year). A lot of work goes into analyzing and compiling these updates, so your support is greatly appreciated!
I’ll still be sharing the romance and romantasy book ranking for free before the paywall, but you’ll need to subscribe for all the details.
