Nothing new to report on the best seller’s list, just that Ally Condie’s Matched is still holding tight, as well as Sara Shepard’s latest, The Lying Game (and I imagine fans are happy since “Pretty Little Liars” is back on TV!) In paperbacks, Stefan’s Diaries, Vol 2, Bloodlust, is in its first week at No. 3.
