Note of the week: YA books have dropped off slightly from the top 25, but plenty of books-turned-into-movies have made their way back onto the list, evident by the #5 spot holder, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS - the movie, staring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon, comes out next month. BEASTLY sits in the #26 position, which starts in theaters today - and stars Alex Pettyfer - who also plays the lead role in the recently released, I AM NUMBER FOUR.
