* NYT Hardcover list
**NYT Children’s list
*** Wild Jinx by Sandra Hill (Grand Central) was No. 26 on the NYTimes Bestseller paperback list but did not appear on the USA Today list.
Chosen by PC Cast & Kristin Cast is #2 on the NYT Children’s Paperback BSL.
ETA: Or am I looking at the wrong date and are the Casts #2 for the forthcoming NYT BSL? Ugh, why can’t the lists’ dates coincide?
Did I read it right? The Perfect Wife is #83 on the USA Today list and #1 on the NYT MM list?
Maybe I did read it right. Since Simply Magic is #103 on the USA Today list and #3 on NYT MM list.
Simply Magic is #33 on NYT MM list, not #3.

Thanks. Have made the changes.
Sugar Daddy is still $19.95? I thought it was a MM release this time around.
