For the third week in a row, Sycamore Row by John Grisham was the top selling paid book in Apple's iBooks store.
The Book Thief, boosted thanks to the film adaptation released November 8, held tight to the #2 spot for the week ended November 18. Also enjoying a windfall from movie buzz is Veronica Roth's Divergent, which landed at #4 -- the adaptation of the book, the first in Roth's trilogy, is due out on March 21. The closer to the series, Allegiant, moved up one spot to #6.
New to the list this week were Melody Anne's self-published title, Scorched, the final title in her Surrender series, at #3. Patricia Cornwall's newly released, Dust, debuted on the list at #8.
