USA Today Bestsellers, 7/3
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle hit the USA Today bestseller list three weeks ago at #142 and has been rising since. It is now at #61. Expect to see it rise on other lists (it was at #9 on the NYT Fiction list last week). Most libraries are showing long reserve lists.
Titles that showed significant drops include:
Broken Window, Jeffrey Deaver — it debuted at #24 three weeks ago and is now at #84
Married Lovers, Jackie Collins — began at #38 three weeks ago, now at #89
New titles to the list that are not owned in several of the libraries I checked include:
