Vampires! Teen love! Massive book sales!
USA Today‘s quarterly best seller list (for the first three months of 2009) shows Stephenie Meyer titles in the top four spots (New Moon, Twilight, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn as one through four), and another at #14 (The Host). Yet what is most remarkable about the list is the introductory paragraph, in which they note that “Sales of her novels accounted for about 16% of all book sales tracked by the list in the first quarter of 2009. That’s about one in seven books.”
