A strong week for both Joseph O’Connor‘s Ghost Light and Stephanie Meyer‘s The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Good to see the arrival of Maeve Binchy into the top ten and interesting to see James Patterson with two of the top ten meaning that two authors command 50% of the top ten slots. Summer reading is really driving sales at the moment and it will be interesting to see which of these top flyers have sustained sales in July and August.
