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.
"Toys" by James Patterson and Neil McMahon replaced “Sing You Home: A Novel” by Jodi Picoult as the top book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock" by Sammy Hagar replaced "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption" by Laura Hillenbrand as the No. 1 book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.
“Water for Elephants” retained the No. 1 spots on the mass market paperback and trade paperbacks best-sellers list.
There are two books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. Those books (and their place on the list) are "Toys" by James Patterson and Neil McMahon (1) and "The Informationist: A thriller" by Taylor Stevens (15).
