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 three new books at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.“American Assassin” by Vince Flynn replaced “The Reversal” by Michael Connelly as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction list.
“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents Earth: A Visitor’s Guide to the Human Race” by Jon Stewart replaced “Obama’s Wars” by Bob Woodward as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction list.
“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson replaced “Crave” by J.R. Ward on the mass market paperbacks list.
“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” retained the top spot this week on the trade paperbacks list.
There are three 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 “American Assassin” by Vince Flynn (1), “Our Kind of Traitor by John le Carre (7) and “Naked Heat” by Richard Castle (15).
