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, there are two new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week."Believing the Lie" by Elizabeth George (Dutton Adult) replaced "Private: Number 1 Suspect" by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History" by Chris Kyle, Jim DeFelice and Scott McEwen replaced "Steve Jobs: A Biography" by Walter Isaacson as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson remained the top book on the mass market paperback and trade paperbacks best-sellers lists.
