Stephenie Meyer is Hot in Hawaii

,

Flipping through the Sunday Honolulu Advertiser I glanced at the Hawaii Best Sellers book list and something caught my eye. Here’s the list from August 17, 2008:

  1. “Breaking Dawn” by Stephenie Meyer
  2. “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer
  3. “Eclipse” by Stephenie Meyer
  4. “Acheron” by Sherrilyn Kenyon
  5. “New Moon” by Stephenie Meyer
  6. “Artemis Fowl 6: The Time Paradox” by Eoin Colfer
  7. “Lottery” by Patricia Wood
  8. “In The Woods” by Tana French
  9. “When You Are Engulfed in Flames” by David Sedaris
  10. “Last Summer (of You and Me)” by Ann Brashares

The numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5 spots are all owned by Stephenie Meyer! Was this an island fluke? Nope, Amazon’s top selling books goes like this:
#1 Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)
#4 Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
#6 Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)


So what are these stories dominating the sales charts? They are books in the Young Adult category that talk about the interaction of a 17-year old girl, Bella, and a high school senior, Edward Cullen, who happens to be a vampire. Sounds familiar Buffy and Angel fans? No matter! There must be something right about these books since the sales don’t lie.

I just might have to read one of these… Whoa, 700+ pages?!
