For hardcovers, Terry Goodkind's latest took a commanding lead in its first month. The new runner-up is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King (Scribner). There were 75 nominees, just down from last month's 76.
In paperbacks, the top six books dominated the lists, with points especially close for the top three (for a while, there was a near-tie for #1). We had no new runner-up, and nominees were down to 95, after last month's 114.
Mary Doria Russell still has two titles on the trade paperback list, and The Mists of Avalon is back yet again, tied for #5. We had 85 nominees, to just 69 last month.
Star Wars and Star Trek fought it out for media books, knocking other series titles off the list, but the new runner-up is Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Visitors, by Gilman & Sherman (Pocket Archway). We had 33 nominees, down from 44.
The latest Battletech book dominated gaming-related titles. Nominees: 25, up from 20.
