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 Omen Machine" by Terry Goodkind replaced "A Dance With Dragons" by George R.R. Martin 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 "The Omen Machine" by Terry Goodkind (1), "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" by Stieg Larrson (10) and "Rules of Civility: A Novel" by Amor Towles (14).
