Weekly Bestsellers, 20 February


Robin Hobb’s City of Dragons (Harper Voyager) debuts on three lists this week, though just barely, ranking #24 on the NY Times list, #25 on the Publishers Weekly list, and #93 on the USA Today list.

Also, Eowyn Ivey’s The Snow Child (Reagan Arthur Books) ranks #27 on the NYT List, #121 on the USAT list.

Anne Rice’s The Wolf Gift (Knopf) ranks on Amazon today, but not yet on any of the print lists. Maybe next week.
