Thursday, May 12, 2011: According to USA TODAY, the following list contains the top 25 best selling books (out of 150) - based on sales through Sunday, 05/08/2011. 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: I may be experiencing heart palpitations. Last week it was Mockingjay that fell from the top 25 - now, Catching Fire has dropped off as well (down to #28).
Sadly, only two YA titles even reside on my list this week - thankfully, The Hunger Games is still there - but now sitting in the #2 position is Rick Riordan's newest title, The Throne of Fire.
