Booklist watch: Three in the bottom third

Posted on January 10, 2007 by Brigid Alverson

Well, vol. 12 of Naruto is showing some staying power; it’s still on the USA Today Top 150 Books, although it drops from 77th to 108th place. Vol. 9 of Death Note moves up to 126 (from 230). And vol. 15 of Fruits Basket is still hanging in there at number 148, a precipitous fall from last week’s 82nd place. They’re all kinda low, but three on the charts is not bad.
