USA Today Bestseller List, Week Ending January 28, 2007
By Jane • Feb 1st, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •There were only a few new books appearing on the list, the notable one being Patricia Brigg’s Blood Bound.
Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood, Ann Brashares (Delacorte Books for Young Readers), $18.99, No. 2 (Peak 2) Still at No. 2.
Plum Lovin’, Janet Evanovich, (St. Martin’s Press), $16.95 No. 5, (Peak 1)Le sigh. This type of sales only serves to encourage the publication of the novella in hardcover form.
Point Blank, Catherine Coulter (Jove), $7.99, No.9, (Peak 3)
Gone, Lisa Gardner (Bantam), $7.99, No. 11, (Peak 7)
Slow Burn, Julie Garwood (Ballantine Books), $7.99, No. 16, (Peak 5)
White Lies, Jayne Ann Krentz (Putnam), $24.95, No. 18 This low ranking shocked me. I expected JAK’s book to be at the top, but then I acknowledge not having bought it yet. I am hoping it shows up at Costco.
Sun Kissed, Catherine Anderson (Signet), $7.99, No. 22, (Peak 11)
Blood Bound, Patricia Briggs (Ace), $7.99, No. 35 I think this is particularly impressive given that this book had no official lay down date.
A Little Bit Wicked, Victoria Alexander (Avon), $6.99, No. 65, (Peak 19)
Be My Valentine, Debbie Macomber (Mira), $7.99, No. 78, (Peak 14)
Irish Hearts, Nora Roberts (Silhouette Special Releases), $14.95, 84 (Peak 1).
The Boleyn Inheritance, Philippa Gregory (Touchstone), $25.95, No. 88, (Peak 36)
Valley of Silence, Nora Roberts (Jove), $7.99, No. 90, (Peak 2)
Shadow Dance, Julie Garwood (Ballantine Books), No. 96, (Peak 13)
The Constant Princess, Philippa Gregory (Touchstone), $16.00, No. 117, (Peak 56)
Twilight, Stephenie Meyer (Little, Brown), $8.99, No. 118, (Peak 75)

My Nerdy Valentine, Vicki Lewis Thompson (St. Martin’s Paperbacks), $6.99, No. 137 (Peak 85)
Ready for Love, Debbie Macomber (Mira), $7.50, No. 138 (Peak 138)
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

There is an announcement on Running With Quills that JAK’s White Lies will be #4 on the NY Times best seller list. I bought my copy but haven’t started it yet. I need a big block of free time.
