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 three new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.
"Private: Number 1 Suspect" by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro replaced "Believing the Lie" by Elizabeth George as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America" by Mark R. Levin replaced "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History" by Chris Kyle, Jim DeFelice and Scott McEwen as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer replaced "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson as the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
