Well the above sentence is somewhat correct. Richelle Mead author of the hot series Vampire Academy spoke with the AP about her books, adults who read them and possible movie deals. You can read about it here.
Will the vampire trend in books and movies keep going strong? My local used bookstore has about ten copies of twilight sitting on the shelf.
Below is a list of the bestselling books of the decade. I found it interesting that J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyer books take the top 7. I know many adults have read their books but it’s encouraging to see that both authors’ books are read by a majority of children and teens.
So who wrote the better books? Rowling or Meyer? Or is it like comparing apples to oranges?
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – JK Rowling
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – JK Rowling
3. Breaking Dawn – Stephenie Meyer
4. Twilight -Stephenie Meyer
5. Eclipse – Stephenie Meyer
6. The Tales of Beedle the Bard – JK Rowling
7. New Moon – Stephenie Meyer
8. The Time Traveller’s Wife – Audrey Niffenegger
9. The Kite Runner – Khaled Hosseini
10. A Thousand Splendid Suns – Khaled Hosseini
