Not that we’re partial or anything, but whoo-hoo! Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare is no.1 on the best seller’s list for the third week in a row! Another favorite author of ours, Maggie Stiefvater, is in her 10th week on the list with Linger, the follow-up to Shiver. Halo by Alexandra Adornetto is also in the top 10 again, and I thinking this will be the next book I pick up. And not that we judge books by their covers, but man, Halo‘s is beautiful.
