As USA Today’s “Book Buzz” column notes, Moscow Rules, by Daniel Silva, landed on this week’s list #10, which is Silva’s highest USA Today debut to date. Silva is currently on tour, making several library appearances (New Canaan, CT; St. Louis County, MO; Cocoa Beach, FL; West Palm Beach, FL and Broward County, FL). He appeared on The Today Show last week with David Gregory, who is obviously a fan.

Most libraries have received their copies; some have heavy reserves (10:1 ratios in some areas).

Movies are having an affect on several titles:

#29 The Watchmen, up from #83 last week

#114 Batman: The Killing Joke - debut

#141 The Dark Knight - debut

 

#118 The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

#139 Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood

As we noted in the Upcoming Movies — with Tie-ins listing, the new Traveling Pants movie is based on the fourth, rather than the second, title in the best-selling young adult series. It’s been three years since the first movie, so the actresses need to play older characters. It seems both the movie tie-in edition and the regular edition are receiving a boost from the movie, which opens next week.
