Bestsellers: THE HELP, TWILIGHT Sliding
Sun sets on Twilight, for now announces USA Today‘s “Book Buzz” column; for the first time since July 12, 2007, none of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books appear in the top 50 on the USA Today best seller list.
Breaking Dawn is close, though, at #54, and the only other Twilight title in the top 150 is the series “extra,” The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. But, as the column points out, there is likely to be a spike when the DVD of Eclipse is released in December, followed by the two movies based on Breaking Dawn, scheduled for 2011 and 2012.
The Help slides to #48, from #37 last week, after an amazing 73 weeks on the list. The paperback may finally be on its way.
Philip Roth’s new book Nemesis just squeaks on to the list at #150.
