New York Times Best Selling Books

Por: aka MEGGIE | |

The New York Times has been widely accepted and known to be the best source of reading materials that are worth reading. Let's see who made it in this month's best sellers, shall we? Drum roll please!

Under the Hardcover Fiction, still reigning supreme is Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. Man I have really got to finish reading this book while it's still on top.



Moving on, drum roll again please...and the winner for best hardcover nonfiction is Have A Little Faith by Mitch Albom. Now I know for a fact that Mitch Albom is a great writer having seen a few films of the book he's written such as the Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie, but I have never, not once read a book of his. Maybe I should try sometime soon when I'm done with Dan Brown, hopefully!

Continuing, this time with paperback trade fiction. Drum roll if you please...and the number spot for paperback trade fiction goes to, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. According to my sister this is in fact a good read, quite frankly I am one not so eager to flip through its pages being a mother of two daughters myself. I find that if I do, I will suffer paranoia. I also know that this book has been translated on screen, but you know what they say "it is always better in the books."




Our next award ladies and gents will be for the number one spot under the paperback mass-market fiction, and the number one spot goes to, the Street Game by Christine Feehan. Sorry guys, I cannot relate. I am afraid I am not so much a fan for this sort of reading. Let's get a move on shall we?

Our next category is the paperback nonfiction. The nominees for this categories are, Blink by Malcom Gladwell, Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea by Chelsea Handler, The Blind Side by Micheal Lewis, Freakonomics by Steven D. Libitt and Stephen J. Dubner, and lastly Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin...and the "Oscar" goes to, The Blind Side by Micheal Lewis. Now I believe that this book has also been brought to life on screen. Sandra Bullock, in my opinion, did a fine job with this movie. Totally inspiring to see and I presume an equally inspiring read as well.




Next in line my friends is the top honcho for the hardcover advice. Drum roll please...the winner for this month's hardcover advice is, The Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. Also brought to life on screen by Oscar Winner Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, this book is the reason for their second collaboration on film.




Ladies and gentlemen we are nearing the end of our award ceremony, and I have here the last three winners for this month's Best Selling Books for the New York Times. We begin by announcing the winner for the best paperback advice, the winner is Flat Belly Diet by Liz Viccariello and Cynthia Sass.

Our second to the last award is for the Best children's book, pay attention moms, and the winner is Splendiferous Christmas by Jane O'Connor! Now this I have got to buy, I bet my daughter's would still love a good christmas story, after all we are all still hung over the spirit of the holidays. I know we still are.

Finally, bookworms we close this night's awarding ceremony with the winner for the Best Graphic Book, and without further ado, the winner for this month is, The Book of Genesis illustrated by R. Crumb.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen! This month's New York Times Best Selling Books. If you haven't gotten a copy of these books yet, rush now to your nearest bookstore.

Happy reading everyone!
