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, 97.
