| pretty cool. i'm not surprised though. it was the most anticipated book of the year so it's no wonder it's the best seller of the year. im pretty sure the 7th book is going to be the best seller when it comes out also. |

| Oh, awesome! Two of my favourite books are on there! HBP and The Da Vinci Code. I'm surprised that the 12th book of ASOUE wasn't on the top 10. It was actually one of the better ones out of the series! |
