Weekly Bestsellers, 6 February

This page has not been tracking Téa Obreht’s The Tiger’s Wife (Random House), a literary novel that appeared last March, but since it’s been included on the 2011 Locus Recommended Reading List (as a first novel), it will now. The trade paperback, which appeared in November, is still high on several lists, ranking #1 this week on the LA Times list, #4 on the NY Times list.
