Sociedade dos Leitores Vivos: Best-Sellers - The New York Times 25/03/12

Olá leitores,

As coisas estão muito corridas por aqui, muito mesmo :/. Mas eu prometo que assim que passar essa temporada de provas, ou se tiver mesmo uma greve na universidade (o que será decidido hoje), as coisas voltarão ao normal no nosso blog.

A lista da semana está cheia de novidades e bem variada. Em primeiro lugar temos um livro de espionagem, no terceiro temos fantasia e no quarto temos um livro policial sobrenatural. Os destaques da lista ficam com os livros 11/22/63, que está na sua décima oitava semana na lista, e A Dance With Dragons, o quinto livro da série As Crônicas de Gelo e Fogo, que está na sua trigésima segunda semana.
