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.
|
Two debuts this week: first, Laurell K. Hamilton's latest Meredith Gentry novel, Divine Misdemeanors (Ballantine), ranking #6 on the New York Times fiction hardcover list, #7 on the same Publishers Weekly list, #10 on the Washington Post list.
Second, a new Star Wars novel by Drew Karpyshyn, Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil (LucasBooks), ranking #18 on the NYT list.
