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 20 January 2009
|
Simon R. Green's Just Another Judgement Day (Ace), latest novel in his Nightside series, debuts this week, ranking #31 on the extended New York Times fiction hardcover list.
And the next novel in Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series, Dead and Gone, due from Ace in May, ranks #42 on Amazon.com today with pre-publication sales.
Harris' first eight Sookie Stackhouse novels still rank on lists -- all of them on Amazon.com, all but one of them on NY Times lists.
But Stephenie Meyer still rules the lists, including the top three spots on today's Amazon.com list.
