This week, Amy Bloom still commands the top spot with 76 holds on her new novel Away. Bloom is a Connecticut author, who teaches at Yale University. She has most recently been writing for the new television series, State of Mind on Lifetime TV.
In second place is Ann Patchett with Run. Patchett, author of Bel Canto, sold her first novel 24 hours after it had been sent out for consideration.
Third: Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. This first novel is about Frank Lloyd Wright's clandestine love affair with a married woman.
Khaled Hosseini holds the fourth place with Thousand Splendid Suns.
New to the list this week is Richard Russo, number five with Bridge of Sighs. The Washington Post calls Russo "the patron saint of small town fiction."
Number six is Ann Packer with Songs Without Words. See Susan T.'s comment on last week's top ten list. (Thanks, Susan.)
Jeffrey Toobin's Nine: Inside the Supreme Court is seventh. See Toobin on CNN commenting on everything legal.
Audiobook Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling is eighth on the list.
Ninth: Age of Turbulence by Alan Greenspan.
And John Grisham reappears with his new one: Playing for Pizza. It's football in Italy- no legal thriller this time!

Readers waiting for some of the popular hold books might want to check out Carol Muske-Dukes' new novel, "Channeling Mark Twain." It's about a writer who teaches poetry at Rikers Island's women's detention center. Smart literary fiction that's full of intrigue. Especially if you are a poetry fan, this one is a must!
Of this week's Top Ten, the one I'd most like to read is Ann Patchett's "Run."
