The Gathering Storm drops out of the top five for the holiday season, and is replaced by The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Kindle edition. Really cool that readers are still out purchasing this classic, but now in a new digital format. Also, the number one spot gets taken over by another vampire book, with a, shall we say, less than original title.

1. Once Bitten by Kalayna Price
2. Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer
3. Wit’ch Fire by James Clemens
4. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien
5. An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon

Everything holds strong from last week, giving Breaking Dawn six weeks straight in the top five, two of those spent in the number one slot. This marks the book’s return to the top 5, due to the popularity of New Moon, the new Twilight movie being released about six weeks ago.
