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 two new books at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.“The Reversal” by Michael Connelly replaced “Fall of Giants” by Ken Follett as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction list.
“Crave” by J.R. Ward replaced “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson as the top book on the mass market paperback list.
“Obama’s Wars” by Bob Woodward remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover nonfiction list, and “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” retained the top spot on the trade paperback list.
