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.

4. Flirt by Laurell K. Hamilton
5. Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris

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.

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.

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.
