New York Times Bestsellers: Week of December 16

Only one new book made the list this week…

(For what it’s worth, Star Wars apparently sits atop the list because it’s beautiful. A friend recently reported that her nephew buys it as a present for all of his friends’ birthday parties… quite a steep present, I’d say!)
