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.
"Flash and Bones: A Novel" by Kathy Reichs replaced "The Omen Machine" by Terry Goodkind as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"Wicked Appetite" by Janet Evanovich replaced "The Confession: A Novel" by John Grisham as the top book on the mass market paperback 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.
