3 Weeks After Breaking Dawn Made Its Debut
Amazon.com, Breaking Dawn remaining the most ordered book. The list changes hour by hour, but number one is where it seems to be staying. The other books in the saga are in the top 20.
Barnes and Noble it is in the number 4 slot with the other books in the saga in the top 10.
USA TODAY
Breaking Dawn is number one and the rest of the saga is within the top 10. The Host punches in at number 20.
Wall Street Journal
Breaking Dawn is number one and the rest of the saga is within the top 10. The Host is at number 10.
The New York Times
Breaking Dawn and the rest of the Saga is at one ( the NY Times list categorizes the books as "series books" in their children’s list). The Host is at number 6 on it’s list (categorized as hardcover fiction).
Now if you consider the fact that most die hard fans get their books within the first week, the fact that the book is still doing this well three weeks later after a set release date, is pretty impressive.
