Regaining the top spot on the Smashwords platform for October is Diary of an Oxygen Thief, a 2009 novel by an anonymous author that’s been hailed as Fight Club meets Mad Men.

In at #2 is the romance Broken Silence, the second installment to the Silence series by Natasha Preston, who also snagged the #14 spot with the third book in the series, Players, Bumps and Cocktail Sausages.

At #3 is the YA novel Rogue (the third volume the Relentless series) by Karen Lynch -- who also takes the #22 slot with the series's second volume, Refuge -- while rounding out the top five is Brenda Kennedy with two romances in the Freedom Trilogy: Broken Lives at #4 and Mending Hearts at #5.

Hal Elrod’s self-help title The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM) drops three places from #5 in September to #8 this month, while Kristen Ashley's romance Hold On comes in at #12 in October after topping last month's list.
