Thursday, March 10, 2011: According to USA TODAY, the following list contains the top 25 best selling books (out of 150) - based on sales through Sunday, 03/06/2011. For the complete list of 150 books for the week or just to check out more information - plus reviews, book news and a searchable archive of USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list - visit their website.
Note of the week: This quite possibly might be the worst week of YA title appearances on the top 25 list I've seen in over a year - with only 3 titles making the cut. Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins, has dropped to the number 27 position - the first time since September of last year, that all 3 of Suzanne's books weren't in the top 25. Come on YA - I know people are writing this genre like crazy - so where are all the good ones at?
