USA Today Besteller List, Week Ending January 6, 2008
By Jane • Jan 14th, 2008 • Category: Publishing News • •
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 romance author making it to the list for the first time: Yasmine Galenorn’s Darkling.

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!

I like the table format! Thanks so much!
But why is their peak lower than their current ranks, for a lot of them?
whoops - I think I put in last week’s ranking and not the peak. Need to go and edit.
