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 three new books at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.“Cross Fire” by James Patterson replaced “Hell’s Corner” by David Baldacci as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-seller list.
“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson replaced “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown as the top book on the mass market paperback best-seller list.
“The Book of Awakening” by Mark Nepo replaced “Happy Ever After” by Nora Roberts as the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-seller list.
“Decision Points” by George W. Bush retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-seller list.
