This week, one-quarter of the list’s top 50 books are romance novels, and 20% of the books new to the list are in that category. It could be a sign of the times. Romance, especially paranormal romance, and science-fiction/fantasy novels are “outperforming all other categories” at Borders, says buyer Micha Hershman. “There is some escapism going on. There’s clearly an element of ‘How do I get out of the daily grind?’ ” Romances new to the list include Montana Creeds: Dylan by Linda Lael Miller (No. 9), The Grand Finale by Janet Evanovich (No. 12) and One Day at a Time by Danielle Steel (No. 13).

The top 150 USA Today best sellers.
