Dead Witch Walking, Dead in the Family and Breaking Dawn hold strong this week, confirming that this vampire in fantasy trend isn’t going away any time soon. And the two newcomers to Amazon’s top 5 fantasy bestseller list this week are…Battle of the Network Zombies, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter? I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth. At least when I scrolled down past the top 5, I was reassured that Jim Butcher’s latest novel as well as Patrick Rothfuss’ The Name of the Wind are both still selling well, giving me some reassurance that not all hope is lost.
Another week of musical chairs, as all five books in the top 5 remain, but Dead Witch Walking trades places with Dead in the Family, and Black Magic Sanction trades off with The Time Traveler’s Wife. Breaking Dawn reaches fifteen weeks in the Amazon Top 5 Fantasy Bestseller list.
Breaking Dawn reaches fourteen weeks in the top 5, with Dead in the Family and The Time Traveler’s Wife both holding strong. Two new entries in the top 5 this week, both from the same author: Kim Harrison. She may be one to watch.
Is it just me, or are the books I’m reading or excited about reading not anywhere near the top 5? Jim Butcher, Robin Hobb, and Brandon Sanderson are all in the top 25, but the trends recently are overwhelmingly toward vampire and undead books. Show you who’s buying books right now. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.
The Time Traveler’s Wife and Flirt swap places, but everything else in the Amazon top 5 remains the same this week. Breaking Dawn reaches thirteen weeks straight in the top 5.
Charlaine Harris continues a strong showing in the fantasy genre, with two books in the Amazon top 5 bestseller list. Breaking Dawn and Flirt also continue to sell well, and The Time Traveler’s Wife surfaces in the top 5 list after eight weeks of hovering somewhere below the top 5 mark.
Vampires continue to rule the Amazon top 5 fantasy bestseller list, with Flirt making its first appearance this week. Stephanie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn holds strong in the number two spot, and Charlaine Harris continues a strong showing in 2010 with two novels in the top 5 this week: Dead in the Family and Dead and Gone.
Once Bitten enjoys two weeks straight in the number one spot, while James Clemens’ Wit’ch Fire hits the five week mark. Breaking Dawn has been selling strong on Amazon since the release of the New Moon movie, and Charlaine Harris starts the year off as the first author with two books in the top five, with both Dead and Gone and Dead in the Family making the list this week.
Wit’ch Fire by James Clemens debuts at the number one spot, while Breaking Dawn reaches five weeks in the top five surrounding the release of the new Twilight movie, New Moon. The Gathering Storm enjoys its ninth week straight in the top five, while The Time Traveler’s Wife and Dead and Gone round out the top five.
We’ve got a very healthy swath of reviews this week, maybe due to the fact that I spent the weekend in Serra do Cipo, so a few of these may reach back to before last weekend. Either way, you can’t lose with reviews of books by Scott Lynch, Ken Scholes, Janny Wurts, Dan Brown and plenty more. A pair of interviews with R.A. Salvatore and Andy Remic are featured, with Remic discussing his most recent novel Kell’s Legend.
Ever want to have your name featured in a fantasy novel? Patrick Rothfuss is giving fans this opportunity. Check out the link below for more details.
The Gathering Storm moves swiftly into the top spot, with R.A. Salvatore’s The Demon Awakens following closely behind. A new entry this week, Paradox I by Rosemary Laurey, rounds out the top three. A Touch of Dead and Full Moon Rising hang on in the four and five spots.
