Cussler's 'The Spy' appears on best-sellers list this week

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.

"Dreams of Joy: A Novel" by Lisa See replaced "Dead Reckoning" by Charlaine Harris as the top book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"The Greater Journey" by David McCullough replaced "Those Guys Have All the Fun" by James Andrew Miller & Tom Shales as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"Just Like Heaven" by Julia Quinn replaced "Frankenstein: The Dead Town" by Dean Koontz as the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.

"Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back" by Todd Burpo, Sonja Burpo, Colton Burpo and Lynn Vincent retained the No. 1 spot on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.
