This Week at Fiction Week
New this week at FictionWeek: The remarkable run of HOLD TIGHT by Harlan Coben continues on the NYT best-seller list. It's a story right out of the news headlines, about the aftermath of a high school kid's suicide. Another newcomer to the NYT list is a familiar name, THE MIRACLE OF SLEEPY MOTORS by Alexander McCall Smith (the ninth book her No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series). New releases are hitting the shelves, some from the usual suspects, some from the not so usual: The Senator's Wife by Sue Miller, 6th Target by James Patterson, Where the Heart Leads by Stephanie Laurens, Charm! by Kendall Hart, Sizzle and Burn by Jayne Ann Krentz, and Three in Death by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts). Awards season is continuing. Kate Christensen won the $15,000 PEN/Faulkner award for her satirical novel, The Great Man . Christensen, a former chic-lit writer, is only the fifth woman to win the prize in its 28-year history. CLICK HERE to read more news of the week. This week's best selling fiction
