Stephenie Meyer sweeps Canada in 2008
Source: The Ampersand
BookNet Canada released their list of the bestselling books in Canada in 2008, and, not surprisingly, Stephenie Meyer‘s Twilight series took four of the five top spots.
The only book that outsold Meyer was A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. JK Rowling‘s latest book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, finished in twentieth spot. However, the book was only on sale for two weeks before the list was compiled; the list encompasses January 1, 2008 until the week ending December 14.
