Sycamore Row, John Grisham's new novel featuring the setting and characters from his 1989 hit Time to Kill, was the bestselling paid book in Apple's iBooks store for the week ended November 4. Row beat out the previous top-seller, Allegiant, by Veronica Roth, which came in at #3. Sliding into the #2 spot was Ender's Game, up one slot from #3 the previous week. The movie adaptation of Orson Scott Card's novel was the box office winner last weekend, raking in $28 million.
New to the list this week were recent releases by Christina Lauren, whose novel Beautiful Player landed at #4, and Nora Roberts, who hit the #5 spot with the first book in her Cousins O'Dwyer trilogy, Dark Witch.
