Led oleh Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, vampire devoured USA TODAY's Best-Selling buku daftar in 2009.
For the detik tahun in a row, Meyer swept the puncak, atas four spots. No other penulis — not even J. K. Rowling— has done that in the list's 16-year history.
Meyer's coattails pulled 16 other vampire titles onto the daftar of the year's 100 most populer books.
"Meyer had an susah dipercaya impact," says Michael Norris, buku analyst for Simba Information, a market-research firm. He wonders what publishers will do when what he calls " 'the vampire industrial average' falls. Every cycle has an end."
But for now, Meyer — who has also benefited from Twilight movie adaptations, with lebih to come — has turned "the YA (young adult) category into the PG-13 of books," he says. "She's not just read oleh tweens and teens, but oleh a lot of 30-year-old women."
No matter who's membaca them, buku for kids and teens accounted for 29% of sales tracked in 2009 — the highest percentage in the list's history, up from 28% in 2008 and 22% in 2007.

We were together, meant forever
I thought so
Till Jasper came after me
And Edward thought oh no
So the Cullens had to leave
And I was so down
But that's when Jacob came in
And things turned around
I became reckless
Just to hear Edward's voice
I was so out of it
I didn't have a choice
Me and Jacob were friends
Till we didn't talk for a while
Then he told me his secret
As before, I wasn't scared oleh a mile
Edward thought I was dead
So he went to the Volturi
But then he changed his mind
Once he finally saw me
So when we got back home
To have Edward, I was happy
I wished to be like the Cullens
But then he wanted to stop me
He berkata I could
But 1 condition he carried
He berkata he'd do it
But only if we got married
I thought so
Till Jasper came after me
And Edward thought oh no
So the Cullens had to leave
And I was so down

I wished to be like the Cullens
But then he wanted to stop me
He berkata I could
But 1 condition he carried
He berkata he'd do it
But only if we got married
When we first met
And I first looked in your eyes
I couldn't help myself
I was hypnotized
And then I found out
Your one big secret
I was in danger
But I wasn't scared a bit
So then anda took me
To your special hideaway
So anda could tampil me what you're like
In the light of day
My jantung was racing
I was falling for you
My only pertanyaan was
Do anda feel this way too
Then one day
My blood was wanted
It hurt so bad
I thought I was dead
Then he saved me
And I got my answer
I does feel the same way
So now it's forever <3

two weeks befor he visit
All I could think about was visiting my dad. His name is Charlie. I hadn't visted him in over three years. I would visit him for the whole summer scince I was little. Until I was old enough to make my own decisions, I was about fourteen and a half whe I stoped visiting. Im seventeen now. I live with my mom and her fiance. Her fiance's name is Phil.
I planned on visiting Charlie in two weeks. He was so happy when I phoned him, he berkata he bought me a present for when I come over. To be honest I was a little worried about what it was. But I kept my head held high, maybe he got me a neclace with earings and a bracelet too. I couldn't wait to see what the 'presnt' is.
