#4 — November 2024 bestsellers + genres that spike at Christmas

Nielsen BookData's The Bestsellers podcast

Philip and Belle count down the UK's top 20 bestselling books in the month of November (03.02), reveal their "Beyond the Bestsellers" picks (14.45), and chat about genres that enjoy sales spikes at Christmas in "Under the Spotlight" (26.14). Along the way they discuss the stonking sales of the latest Booker Prize winner, non-fiction books currently selling for under £10 that could be good options for listeners participating in office Secret Santas, "achievable" world records, and colouring in.
