Mr. Mercedes, Stephen King's latest novel, came in at #2 on Apple's iBooks bestseller list for the week ended June 9. With the film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars (out June 6) dominating movie talk, John Green's novel, once again, was the top selling title on the chart. Emily Giffin's The One & Only moved up three spots from the previous week, landing at #3. Green claimed another spot in the top five, with 2005's Looking for Alaska at #4.
The August premiere of the movie version of Gayle Forman's If I Stay, and the release of the first trailer for the film on June 5, pushed the novel to the #5 spot.
