One Series to Rule Them All


Entertainment Weekly just released a graphic which shows which blockbuster book series takes the cake (EW April 13, 2012, p84). Whether you root for team Katniss, team Edward, team Gryffindor or team Millennium, you're sure to think your books are the biggest and baddest on the block.
Here's how the numbers really stack up (in the U.S.):
Harry Potter series by JK Rowling has sold 150 million copies.
Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer has sold 75 million copies.
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has sold 36.5 million copies.
And last but not least, Stieg Larsson's Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series has sold 20 million copies.
One thing is for sure; getting a movie deal does not hurt book sales. Time to move to Hollywood!
