At #1 on the USA Today best seller list is Burned, the seventh in The House of Night series by mother/daughter writing team P.C. and Kirstin Cast.

That’s not surprising; the previous book in the series, Tempted, also topped the list. This time, however, the Casts beat out James Patterson, whose new book 9th Judgment also debuts on the list, but at #2.

And, as USA Today‘s Book Buzz column notes, Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell arrives on the list in her highest spot to date, #16, for her YA title, The Carrie Diaries. People magazine gave it 3.5 of a possible 4 stars, saying, “…a final scene…skillfully hooks you into wanting the next installment immediately, though book 2 won’t be available until summer 2011.” Entertainment Weekly was also enthusiastic, giving it an A-.
