Best selling book genres illustrated

I found this chart online and thought it illustrated a fascinating breakdown of the book markets. The best selling genres are clearly presented and if one has a crossover title — a book that appears in two or more categories, such as the Harry Potter books are both “fantasy” and “children’s fiction” — then a runaway bestseller is more likely. Where does Come Hell or High Water fall in this pie chart? Well, there’s “historical fiction” as well as “fantasy fiction.” So maybe that New York Times bestseller list isn’t so far away, after all!
