Josh Malerman's Bird Box, powered by a Netflix adaptation gone viral, has finally knocked Michelle Obama's Becoming from the top of the Apple Books list, to #2. A.S.A. Harrison's The Silent Wife is #3, and Where the Crawdads Sing, by Delia Owens, gets a good start to 2019, placing at #4. At #5 is Tara Westover's Educated, getting a bump thanks to a number of nods on end-of-year lists of best books, including PW's own.
