This Week's Bestsellers

Nothing noteworthy to point out this week. Titles by Kenyon and Salvatore that debuted on other lists last week appear on PW‘s lists this week, since they skipped last week. George R.R. Martin’s A Dance with Dragons is the highest ranking adult genre title on lists this week, again. And Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged reappears near the bottom of a couple long lists.
