That’s a darn good wedding present — having your latest book at no. 1 on the best sellers list. Cassie Clare is still reigning with Clockwork Angel for the fourth week in a row. The only other big news is that The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff has inched onto the top 10 and a couple of our favorites are now out in paperback: Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl is at no. 2; and Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick is at no. 9.
