Twilight series in 2008 bestsellers list

This of course comes as no suprise. Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series--all four books--made it to the 2008 top 10 list of best-selling books in the US. Breaking Dawn topped the list, followed by  Twilight. New Moon and Eclipse ranked 5th and 6th, respectively. Michelle Kerns, my favorite (book) examiner at Examiner.com, has the top 50 list here.

Here's the top 10:
  1. Breaking Dawn - Meyer, Stephenie
  2. Twilight - Meyer, Stephenie
  3. A New Earth - Tolle, Eckhart
  4. The Last Lecture - Pausch, Randy
  5. New Moon - Meyer, Stephenie
  6. Eclipse - Meyer, Stephenie
  7. The Shack Young - William P Windblown
  8. The Tales of Beedle the Bard - Rowling, J K
  9. Brisingr Paolini - Christopher Paolini
  10. Eat, Pray, Love Gilbert - Elizabeth Gilbert
On a side note, I'm pleased that Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture figured in the list. The brilliant professor died a few months back, and his last lecture video became a YouTube sensation.
