Lots of cool stuff to report on this week’s best sellers list! First, we have a new number one: the latest from Lemony Snicket, called Who Could That Be at This Hour? And I’m thrilled that The Evolution of Mara Dyer–the sequel to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin–debuted at number eight. Lots of good stuff, people!
