It’s Sunday, so that mean’s that it’s time for my weekly review of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List. According to the list, we’ve got one new book at the top of the four major best-seller lists.“Safe Haven” by Nicholas Sparks replaced “Freedom” by Jonathan Franzen as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction list.
“The Grand Design” by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction list. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson remained in the No. 1 spots on the mass market paperback and trade paperback lists.
There are six books on this week’s hardcover fiction best seller list that weren’t on that list last week. Those books (and their positions on this week’s list) include "Safe Haven" by Nicholas Sparks (1), "Wicked Appetite" by Janet Evanovich (3), "Warlord: An Alex hawke Novel" by Ted Ball (9), "Room: A Novel" by Emma Donoghue (10), "Her Daughter's Dream" by Francine Rivers (12) and "A Secret Kept" by Tatiana de Rosnay (14).
