Death comes for us all and when it does, if you’re famous, it might give you a posthumous push onto the bestseller lists.

Such is the case this week for “I Am Ozzy,” the 2011 memoir that heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne — who died last week at age 76 — wrote with Chris Ayres about his journey from poverty in Birmingham, England, to rock ’n’ roll stardom and excess. It comes in at No. 9 on the original non-fiction list.

In the book, Osbourne wrote: “People ask me how come I’m still alive, and I don’t know what to say. When I was growing up, if you’d have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of sixty … I wouldn’t have put money on me.”

Though he was known as the Prince of Darkness, my image of him, not being a heavy metal aficionado, will forever be the befuddled and funny patriarch of reality TV series “The Osbournes.”

Speaking of reality TV, Scheana Shay, a star of 11-season-and-counting juggernaut “Vanderpump Rules,” is telling her side of the show’s juicy drama in memoir “My Good Side,” which joins the original non-fiction list at No. 5. According to the book blurb, Shay joined “Vanderpump” as a pathway to an acting career and was instead turned into a reality TV villain.

TV is also having an impact on the children’s and young adult list.

“The Summer I Turned Pretty,” the YA romance by Jenny Han that was made into a Prime Video series, rejoined the list around the same time the show’s third season began streaming. It’s now got company in Han’s “We’ll Always Have Summer,” the third book in her “Summer” trilogy. Meanwhile, “We Were Liars” by E. Lockhart has spent the last few weeks on the list after Prime Video debuted a TV show based on the book in June.
