Consistent sellers are manga graphic novels (the ones you read
back to front), Captain Underpants, Bad Guys, Dog Man, Wimpy
Kid, Dork Diaries, The Princess in Black, Diary of an 8-Bit
Warrior, the book series by Rick Riordan, the different series
by Sarah Maas, and Cinda Williams Chima, and Victoria Aveyard,
and Casandra Clare.
Never heard of any of those.
Oh man, you *ARE* pretty old then! LOL
Captain Underpants has been around for at least 15 years.
No matter.. You would certainly have heard of the above if you
had kids.
The Harry Potter series are a staple;
That I've heard of. Never read.
The books are not bad at all. The film, practically follows the
book scene by scene. It's fun quick read even for a grown-up.
When there is an adaptation to a tv series, many people want to
get a head start (or get "more to the story") and read the
books.
I know of fan fiction.
Fan fiction is something else. I was referring to adaptations
of books to film/tv.
When there is news of an adaption coming along, the interest
for the book version increases - quite a bit. For instance,
Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is coming along to tv. The books
have already been redesigned with new covers and increased
prices. A new generation of people are therefore "discovering"
the series all over again.
