The Girl on the Train by Paula HawkinsA list of the year’s bestselling ebooks has been released by Amazon and it’s a sparkling line-up composed almost entirely of female writers.

Paula Hawkins nabbed the top spot with her dark psychological thriller The Girl on the Train, a novel about marriage and adultery.

EL James’s latest erotica novel, Grey, which retells Fifty Shades of Grey from the perspective of male protagonist Christian Grey, took second place, and three further thrillers – Angela Marsons’ Silent Scream, Emma Healey’s Elizabeth is Missing, and Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl – comprised the rest of the top five.

Of the top 20 bestselling ebooks of the year so far, only two books by male authors made the list: Personal by Lee Child and Us by David Nicholls.

This year has certainly been an exciting one for both ebooks and women writers. Long may it continue!
