Thursday, July 31st, 2008As 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
[ewbooks id=”152″]#114 Batman: The Killing Joke – debut
[ewbooks id=”153″]#141 The Dark Knight – debut
[ewbooks id=”154″]
#118 The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
[ewbooks id=”155″]
#139 Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood
[ewbooks id=”156″]
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.
Movie Title: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, 2
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (previously Forever in Blue)
