The Hunger Games tops Harry Potter as Amazon's Best Selling Series

The Hunger Games franchise has squashed the record set by the Harry Potter series to become Amazon.com's best-selling series in the online retailer's history, the company announced on Friday. 

Sara Nelson, the editorial director of books and Kindle at Amazon, told reporters, "Since debuting in 2008, Katniss Everdeen and the Hunger Games have taken the world by storm, much as Harry Potter did a decade before."
 

The slightly more grown up theme to the book can perhaps be one of the reasons toward the franchise's success, giving it a broader readership to surpass the number of readers that JK Rowling's series reached. Author Suzanne Collins has yet to announce plans for a follow-up novel to 2010's Mockingjay, although is believed to have no desire to drawing out the trilogy any further.
