What can you say? Princesses sell. Gallop! and Listen to the Wind round out the non-princess portion of the top 5.
When I saw that reality star Lauren Conrad was putting out a book, I supposed that it would be pretty popular. Turns out that I underestimated things, as L.A. Candy is currently residing in the #1 spot. Hunger Games has maintained it’s top 5 resurgence (as the release of sequel Catching Fire draws closer) , and always good to see The Graveyard Book on this exclusive list.
