Mel Robbins’s self-help title The 5 Second Rule, which aims to help readers destroy doubt, tops the list of bestselling titles on the Smashwords platform for the month of April.
An unlikely top seller on a list typically dominated by romance, The 5 Second Rule, which debuted on our list in February at #10, is the second title (after Stop Saying You’re Fine) from Robbins, a CNN commentator, vlogger, and high-profile keynote speaker.
Romance dominates the next several spots. Natasha Preston’s Broken Silence, at #2, has been a bestseller since its debut on the Smashwords list in 2014. Karina Halle is at #3 with Before I Ever Met You, Sydney Landon grabs the #4 spot with Fractured, and Leeanna Morgan is in at #5 with Always.
Other notable titles include Ashley Black’s The Cellulite Myth (#7); Derrick Jaxn’s poetry book I Still Want It (#14); and Steven Greer’s Unacknowledged (#23), a UFO exposé.
