The New York Times Top 15 Best Sellers for the week ending Feb 3rd, 2013!


Welcome! Posted by NOON (or sometimes sooner EVERY Sunday!) Another Sunday of books has arrived! Let's see what they are! Then, leave a comment below and tell us "WHAT ARE YOU READING?"! Let's get MORE interaction here, please! I'd LOVE to see some comments!

FICTION: COMBINED PRINT AND EBOOK

1. Safe Haven by +Nicholas Sparks 
Print Book: $7.99
Ebook:       $6.64

 

2. Private Berlin by James Patterson and Mark Sullivan
Print Book: $18.40
Ebook: These two authors are offering their first 23 Chapters as free "BE CAREFUL" because for the REST OF THE BOOK, You WILL be required to pay the FULL AMOUNT OF THE EBOOK IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE READING IT. The ebook price is NOT LISTED, although I would 'guess' it would run at $14.99. This is kind of an advertising ploy to get you interested in the book, have you 'want to read' the rest of the book, then get you to purchase it. It's your choice as to whether or not you want to risk reading it, then purchasing the rest of the ebook.

 
3. Gone Girl: A Novel by Gillian Flynn
Print Book: $13.75
Ebook:       $12.99

 

4. Hopeless by +Colleen Hoover 
Ebook format ONLY at $3.99
May I also inform you this book is #1 on the NYT Ebook List, AGAIN!! Woooo-hooo! Way to go, +Colleen Hoover ! #1, again! For the last several weeks in a row, she has been #1 with this book, "Hopeless"! 
I've read this book, and it DESERVES to be at #1! It is BREATHLESS! +Colleen Hoover is an AMAZING author who knows how to write, how to pull you into the story, and NOT let you go! You will NOT put this book down, so if you have others who depend on you - too bad! You can catch my review for this book here: http://bit.ly/WZHcvp
It's been said around the blogosphere, and I happen to agree as well, that this book has THE BEST FIRST KISS, WITHOUT THEM EVEN KISSING! OMG!!!! Seriously! THAT great! Check it out!

 
5. Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by +E L James 
Print Book: $8.77
Ebook:       $9.99 - Isn't it something how the paperback keeps DROPPING in price, yet the ebook REMAINS THE SAME as the day it was released? I don't agree, but that's my opinion. It's not 'my cup-of-tea, anyway.

 

6. Suspect by Robert Crais
Print Book: $15.99
Ebook:       $12.99

 

7. Ever After by Kim Harrison
Print Book: $17.69
Ebook:       $12.79

 

8. Fifty Shades Darker: Book Two of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by +E L James 
Print Book: $8.77
Ebook:       $9.99 Again, the paperback keeps DROPPING in price, while the ebook remains the SAME as the DAY IT CAME OUT! What gives with this? Don't ebooks go on sale, too, like the print book? MY pet-peeve!

 

9. Fifty Shades Freed: Book Three of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by +E L James 
Print Book: $8.77
Ebook:       $9.99 - NO SALES FOR EBOOKS! Not that I would buy these anyway.

 

10. The Forgotten by David Baldacci
Print Book: $17.75
Ebook:       $  9.99 (Now this ebook's price HAS dropped!)

 

11. The Racketeer by John Grisham
Print Book: $15.83
Ebook:       $12.99

 

12. Someone to Love by +Addison Moore 
Ebook format only: $0.99cents

 

13. The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden by +Jessica Sorensen
Ebook format ONLY $0.99cents!

 

14. The Fifth Assassin by Brad Meltzer
Print Book: $14.88
Ebook:       $12.74

 

15. Bared to You: A Crossfire Novel by Sylvia Day
Print Book: $8.74
Ebook:       $9.99 Again - The paperback price drops, but NOT the ebook! Amazing!

 

There we have the books! The Fifty Shades series are ALL back on the list, as is the Sylvia Day series. I would like to give +Colleen Hoover the credit for bringing PASSION to the list, but the others are not Passion. They are in the Erotica Genre, unless that IS what people want? Not 'my' cup-of-tea, but whatever? Give me a book like Hopeless, and I'm MORE than happy! The writing!!! Oh, my! EXCELLENT!
Looking for some Giveaways? Check out this LINK: "Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska" by +Tricia Goyer and +Ocieanna Fleiss ! They are giving away a Glacier Bay Prize Package along with +Litfuse Publicity Group ! Click on the name of the book to find out more and HOW to enter! Plus you can catch my review there, too!
Follower Love Giveaway Hop STARTS THIS WEEK on Tuesday, Feb 5th to Feb 11th! I'll have the above book to give away! I somehow ended up with 2 copies! Tricia Goyer signed MY copy, and I'm spreading the wealth and giving away the 2nd copy! Be SURE to mark your calendars and stop on by to enter!
So what are YOU reading? I am going to finish out Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn this week, and start Material Witness by +Vanetta Chapman! Two mysteries!
LEAVE A COMMENT as to what YOU are reading this week! See you here again next Sunday! Have a GREAT week! See you back here in-between, too!

  1. Hi Leslie!
    Congrats for commenting on a blog!!! It's FUN, I know!! This is wonderful!! You may want to check out my posts I now do on Saturdays or first thing Sunday mornings!! I've stopped "this post" only because the New York Times now does their own post, this very same post, so I was doing double the work for no good reason. Now on Saturday's I do a blog post called #StackingtheShelves and that post shows ALL blog updates and week's end important things that are going on!! You might like it just as much!! I also show ALL the NEW books I got for that week! I also post which books have Giveaways, what books have reviews from the previous week, and what books are coming FOR review this coming week! Please check back LATE in the day on Saturdays, OR early Sunday mornings!
    Thanks for making MY blog your FIRST blog you commented on!! That means a LOT!!! Thanks SO much!!!!

  2. Hi Nathalie!!!
    Oh, don't worry! I am NOT quitting!!!! NOOOOOO Way!!! I just haven't been able to coordinate my swimming therapy with blogging. I find swimming with this neurological muscle disease I have is helping me SOOOO much that I MUST keep doing it. Problem is it tires me out tremendously!!!!! I have to find that sweet spot so I can coordinate BOTH TOGETHER!!! I could NEVER quit writing this book blog! I won't, either! Don't worry!! Currently, instead of this article, on the weekends I have been doing the Stacking the Shelves of the books I have received each week! I WILL get back to that!! I missed swimming because of the weather, but then other things happened that prevented me from being able to blog. I got a new phone and I called the wrong number ACCIDENTALLY, and he started calling my phone and using ALL my allotment for the month! What a RUDE man! He was abusive to me! I HAD to stop that! And here I wanted to blog! If it's not one thing, it's another! Unbelievable!!!! I'll figure this out!! Don't worry!!! I will NEVER quit this!! I LOVE it WaYYYYY too much!!! Check out this weekend!! I WILL have my NEW posts up!!
    Thank you SO much for stopping by and letting me tell everyone my plans!! I DO look forward to them!!!
    I'll be back!!!!
    Thank you!!!
    Laurie
