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.
"Cold Vengeance" by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston replaced "Ghost Story" by Jim Butcher as the No. 1 book on 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 Confession: A Novel" by John Grisham retained the top spot on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
"The Help" by Kathryn Stockett retained the top spot on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.
There are three 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 "Cold Vengeance" by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston (1), "Retribution" by Sherrilyn Kenyon (4) and "Back of Beyond" by C.J. Box (15).
There are two books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain: How I Went from Gang Member to Multimillionaire Entrepreneur" by Ryan Blair with Don Yaeger (6), "The Secrets of the FBI" by Ronald Kessler (14) and "The End of Molasses Classes" by Ron Clark (15).
There are four books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They include "Midnight Sins" by Lora Leigh (6), "Secrets of Bella Terra: A Scarlet Deception Novel" by Christina Dodd (12), "The Templar Salvation" by Raymond Khoury (14) and "The Glass Rainbow: A Dave Robicheaux Novel" by James Lee Burke (15).
