    Is this a serious post about Bella Forest? I've never heard of her either but judging by her book covers, I don't think its the kind of fantasy we usually talk about.

    It's a "most popular" list that is updated hourly based on sales. Crouch is hot right now because of Wayward Pines. This Forest woman seems to have capitaliazed on the genre of romantic vampire bullshit.

    Also, 3/4 of the Top 20 on that list should be writing fan fiction somewhere, but they're currently some of the best selling authors on Amazon.

    Fuck you, Stephenie Meyer. Seriously.
