Our Top-7 Best-Selling Books in comparison to...

     You know how you're out there on the Internet, doing your afternoon search, running through your favorites, and suddenly a question mark hits you?  That just happened to me.
     One of my favorites to check every now and then happens to be the USA Today Best-Selling Books Top 150.  Of course, I  really don't read the whole top 150.  I'm more interested in the top...say...twenty.  And today I wanted to see how many of the top 20 we have right here in our library. 
     Want to know what our Top 7 are?  The same ones on the USA Today's list of top 20?  Here they are:

• At USA's #3 is James Patterson and Maxine Paetro's 10th Anniversary.  We have both the book and audio book.  Plus we have Patterson's The 9th Judgment in book and audio.
• Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen is USA's #4.  It's in our library for you to read.  (Did you see the movie?)
• USA's #6 is Something Borrowed (just saw the movie) by Emily Griffin.  We have that one and her Something Blue.
• We also have The Help by Kathryn Stockett, which is #9 on USA's list.
• Hannah's List by Debbie Macomber is #15 for USA and in our library for your reading pleasure.
• #17 on USA's list is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, which we have, along with Collins' Catching Fire, #28 for USA's list.
• The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly is USA's #19 and in our library.  Plus we have his book and audio The Fifth Witness, #35 for USA.

     And we also have Nora Roberts' Chasing Fire in book and audio (at USA's #39, even if we don't have her book The Search at USA's #11).  I seem to remember seeing at our library The Sixth Man by David Baldacci in book and audio also.  That one is #13 on USA's list.
     I figure any way I look at it, I've got plenty of top best-selling books to read for at least the next six months.
    As an FYI, we post the USA Today's list on the side of the 7-day-loan-and-newest-books bookshelf near the checkout counter.  We try to keep it up-to-date just for you.  But, of course, I always sneak a peek at it too.  And there's no telling what new will come into our library in the near future that you're just waiting to read. 
     Be sure to check us out!  Often!  We have good reads!  Well, and audios also.
