And that’s week five of our combined US/UK top ten fiction chart, there are an awful lot of titles in that list which are completely new to me and several that have gone straight on my TBR list. It is also very interesting to see how many dip in and out of the top ten as the weeks go by.

We will do another next week and see how they have changed. How many of this week’s top ten have you read?
