Although Stephenie Meyer is still holding strong to the top spot, there are four new ones snapping at her heels. At no. 2 is the second book in the Carrie Diaries series, Summer and the City by Candace Bushnell. No. 3 is We’ll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han; and No. 6 is Abandon by Meg Cabot, which was our featured book recently. (The final newbie is a children’s book by the iconic Mo Willems.)
