I don’t even know what to say … don’t get me wrong, I’m glad readers are eating up history, but Bill O’Reilly’s latest, Lincoln’s Last Days, is in its fourth week in the top spot. In the second spot is Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started. (Really?!) Happily, in the third spot is the latest from the talented Ellen Hopkins, Tilt.
