Mike Leach's 'Swing Your Sword' appears on best-sellers list

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 one new book at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.

"The Confession: A Novel" by John Grisham replaced "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin as the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.

"A Dance With Dragons" by George R.R. Martin retained its spot atop the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard kept its No. 1 spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"The Help" by Kathryn Stockett retained the top spot on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

There are five books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They (along with their place on the list) include "Portrait of a Spy" by Daniel Silva (2), "Happy Birthday: A Novel" by Danielle Steel (3), "Split Second" by Catherine Coulter (4), "Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Dominion" by Eric Van Lustbader (9) and "Burnt Mountain" by Anne Rivers Siddons (12).

There are three books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon" by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner (13), "20 Years Younger: Look Younger, Feel Younger, Be Younger!" by Bob Greene (14) and "Swing Your Sword: Leading the Charge in Football and Life" by Mike Leach (15).

There are three books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They include "The Confession: A Novel" by John Grisham (1) and "Spider Bones" by Kathy Reichs (12).

There is just one book on this week’s trade paperbacks list that wasn’t on the list last week - "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein, which came in at No. 15 on the list.

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list.
