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.

SFFH Books on General Bestseller Lists
posted 28 April 2009
|
Tamora Pierce's YA novel Beka Cooper: Bloodhound (Random House), second in a trilogy following Terrior (2006), is the notable debut this week, ranking #1 on the New York Times children's chapter book list.
Last week's debut, Jim Butcher's Turn Coat, slips to #3 on the NYT and Publishers Weekly fiction hardcover lists, #5 at Washington Post.
In paperback, Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet: Relentless (Ace), 5th in the series, is selling well enough to rank #68 today at Amazon.com.
But Stephenie Meyer still rules -- her four Twilight Saga books rank 1,2,3,4 at USA Today and on Amazon UK again this week, and place among the top 8 at Amazon.com, with a boxed set, not listed here, ranking on other lists. Her books have been the dominant sf/fantasy presence on bestseller lists for many months now.
