This September, two of our favorite
authors have adaptations of their books hitting
screens—large and small! Richard Gere and Diane ***
star in
NIGHTS IN RODANTHE, based on the novel

books-to-movies have been huge successes and we're
sure this one will capture the hearts of viewers,
too! Zoey Dean's
HOW TO TEACH FILTHY RICH GIRLS is being
used as the basis for Privileged, a new
series on the CW Network.
Bestsellers!
Remaining on Library Journal fiction Best
Sellers List are James Patterson with
Double Cross,
7th Heaven,
You've Been Warned and
The Quickie,
Stone Cold by David Baldacci, and
The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. These
six books are among those checked out of libraries
or placed on hold most often in the past month. |
