KEY
The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, where:
= same as last week
+/- change since last week
+ back on list
++ new on list
x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)
All lists rank hardcovers and paperbacks separately, except for the USA Today list, which is a single list combining fiction and nonfiction in all formats. Dates shown are posted dates, except those in parentheses, which are dates compiled. New York Times posts its list one week in advance of print publication.
Note that some sources do not compile paperback bestsellers, and some exclude YA books (like the Harry Potter series) from their hardcover and paperback fiction lists.
|
Stephen King's Under the Dome is still the highest ranking genre book on these lists, again ranking #3 on the New York Times list this week.
The one noticeable trend this week is that, perhaps due to holiday shopping having abated, several titles that had fallen off lists in past weeks have re-appeared: thus, all of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse paperbacks again rank on New York Times mass market paperback list, as do titles by Dean Koontz and Karen Traviss. Meanwhile, the next Sookie Stackhouse novel, Dead in the Family (Ace), due to be published in May, appears today on Amazon.com's list at #74.
No other titles debut this week. Washington Post takes the week off.
