It’s Sunday, so that means 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.“Towers of Midnight” by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson replaced “The Confession” by John Grisham as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-seller list. “Happy Ever After” by Nora Roberts replaced “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-seller list.
“Life” by Keith Richards retained the No. 1 spot on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-seller list, and “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown retained the top spot on the mass market paperbacks best-seller list.
There are four 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 “Towers of Midnight” by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson (1), “Indulgence in Death” by J.D. Robb (3), “Moonlight Mile” by Dennis Lehane (6) and “Edge” by Jeffrey Deaver (14).
