Two new titles joined Best Seller List roundup this week: The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook by Matt Dinniman and The Unknown by Riley Sager. Book Riot’s combined list tracks books crossing several major bestseller systems, so a new entry there signals more than a single spike.
Matt Dinniman’s 2024 return
The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook is the third book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and it came out in 2024 before turning up in this week’s roundup. It appeared on the NYT, Amazon, and Indie Bestsellers lists, giving Dinniman a multi-list presence rather than a one-off mention.
That kind of spread is the useful signal for readers and publishers alike: it shows a title reaching more than one sales channel at the same time. In a market built on weekly movement, a book that lands across three lists has already cleared a higher bar than a lone appearance on one system.
Riley Sager’s The Unknown
The Unknown joined the list as the other new title this week, and it appeared on the, NYT, and Indie Bestsellers lists. Sager’s new horror book also extends a run that already includes The Only One Left and other thrillers, keeping the author in the current bestseller conversation.
Strangers by Belle Burden also showed up on the NYT, Amazon, and Indie Bestsellers lists, while Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan appeared on the NYT, Amazon, and Indie Bestsellers lists as well. The roundup still skews heavily toward white authors, so the week’s cross-list gains sit inside a broader field that Book Riot says lacks diversity.
What the roundup shows
Book Riot combines results from, Amazon Charts, Publishers Weekly,, and Indie Bestsellers, which makes the roundup a quick read on where books are breaking through together. For now, the practical takeaway is simple: Dinniman and Sager are the week’s two new entries, and both are now visible in more than one bestseller system.
