Neal Shusterman & David Levithan land on top

There are a few interesting shifts on this week’s best sellers list. First, Bill O’Reilly’s account of President Lincoln’s assassination, Lincoln’s Last Days, tops the list this week. There are also two notable debuts: Unwholly by Neal Shusterman at no. 2 and Every Day by David Levithan at no. 9. I’ll admit, I’m a little shocked that a historical account by a political commentator beat out a new Levithan novel. We’ll see if remains true for a second week.
