Bookstores must be setting up their Halloween book displays; Five Little Pumpkins is back on the USA Today bestseller list (#137).

Of course, the BIG new title of the week is Christopher Paolini’s Brsingr, which hits the list at #1, after only a single day on sale (USA Today‘s list reflects sales through the previous Sunday. The book was released on Saturday).
