CES opened last night with the keynote address from Microsoft. They touted new slate forms of computing. The HP slate is purportedly going to have a sub $500 price. Come to mama, I say. Matthew Bernius, at the Open Publishing Lab, is keeping track of all the publishing related CES announcements. There are a plethora(…)

Kindle sales are now being counted toward bestseller numbers. I hope this goes a long way toward pushing publishers to get their act together and release ebooks in a timely fashion. Slow web loading speed can be a greater deterrent than anything and can overcome great features or content. This is something I struggle with(…)

USA Today put out a list of the topselling books (according to its calculations) for the last fifteen years. Guess who has seven out of the top ten? The article that goes along with the list had two points that stood out for me: Oprah Winfrey, whose book club has made 62 selections since 1996,(…)

I heard yesterday that author Lynn Kurland made the New York Times bestseller list for the very first time with her latest release, With Every Breath. This is the first NYT appearance for Ms. Kurland after 12 years of publishing. Her first book, STARDUST OF YESTERDAY, was published in April of 1996. Kurland also managed(…)

Will Kresley Cole hit #1 with her June release? She’s at number 3 with her May release. Brenda Jackson’s Kimani release hit the extended list which is unusual because, in part, it is a category romance. *** Book Title Author Publisher Price Rank Peak NYT The Devil Who Tamed Her Johanna Lindsey Pocket $7.99 7(…)

New list this week. Mostly big names like Jayne Ann Krentz, Nora Roberts, Janet Evanovich, and Debbie Macomber. There appears to be quite a few of the romantic suspense. Shannon McKenna makes her first appearance on the list at No. 128 with Extreme Danger. I was surprised at how low Christina Dodd’s new historical placed,(…)

Yes, I know, way late with this post. In my defense, this list is so very much the same as last week’s that it holds so little interest. *** Book Title Author Publisher Price Rank Peak Plum Lucky debuted at no. 1 Janet Evanovich SMP 17.95 2 1 Plum Lovin’ Janet Evanovich SMP 6.99 15(…)

There were no new entries in the list other that Janet Evanovich’s mid winter release, Plum Lucky, a hardcover novellette which takes place outside the normal world of Stephanie Plum. The rest of the list is dominated by the big names and I expect next week’s list to be the same. *** Book Title Author(…)

I know that this is way late, but it is the first USA list of the year so I figure that it is better late than never. I’ve decided to go with a table format. I think it’s easier to peruse this way. The list is much stronger this month for romances with a crossover(…)

Nothing much of interest in this week’s list. There were several books released on December 26, 2007, however, I think the holidays may have suppressed natural book sales. *** The Sweet Far Thing, Libba Bray (Delacorte Books for Young Readers), $17.99, No.18 (debut). Shadow Music, Julie Garwood (Ballantine), $26.00, No. 25 (debut). *** Blood Brothers(…)
