Although there are no new books on this week’s best sellers list, The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead is at no. 5 this week. It’s the second book in her Bloodlines series and debuted last week. On the paperback, it’s the same story, though I’m happy to see The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is in the top ten for the third week. Can’t wait for the movie to come out!
